firewall
Here is a pic of the firewall in place. I did attach it last night but didn't take any pics. All of the inserts are glued down and ready for more glass. Also, here is a sneak peak of the hood we laid up. If anyone has a midshaft like the one in the pic... I am interested. That was a loner.

Subscribed. I wish I had the time and money to learn how to build molds/parts. I am too cheap and lazy to do ity now.

I have only done one mold so far of a x2 hood trim piece, however, its not that time consuming and not real expensive. I think I had $50 in it all said and done, plus extra material. As far as actually building the parts, you just have to take your time. If you try to rush it, you can screw up a hood like I did.:smashfreakB: Knowing someone who has the molds helps as well.

Plumbing
Last night I mounted the last of the anchors and ran the plumbing for the scupper and the water lines. I also mounted the plates for the motor mounts. The top deck will go on tonight and be bonded. I should be ready for primer by monday and the motor will be here next week.

Reinforce time
Sunday was pretty productive. I managed to cutout the foothold and some access panels so that we could reinforce the hull. I also laid up the footholds. Tonight I will fill the rear of the boat with foam, attach the footholds and close up the access panels. I'll have more pics of the footholds mounted and the access panels. The boat is totally reinforced from nose to tail.

Moving along
Last night I secured the footholds and side walls where I added foam. Then I laid the black twill carbon in the engine bay. I took the pics when the carbon was still tacky, so it looks wet, but man is it sharp. I am very happy with the way it turned out. The last pic was a case of no rag to wipe a dusty hand off on!
