I have no pics of the transom project, I was out of town. My husband and friend built and installed it without me. This week I bought a beautiful piece of Colorado beetle kill pine for my dash. Off to iBoats for the gauges!

Great picture Memphis, she is coming along real nice.

Ok, now I have a real problem. If you look at the pic on page 2, the one that shows the stripped down interior, the stringers have both been cut in two places to accommodate the old chairs. What can be done? The bottom part of the stringer is still intact. So, it is still one piece for the length of the stringer.

 

[Memphis117]

Please tell me I can patch and rivet it together.

A piece of angle riveted to the stringer would work great.

Decals can be found on Xbay. Many providers, many options.

 

[Memphis117]

Thank you.

Mother's Day present!

 

[Memphis117]

Just a few more rivets to go.

Here are the cut stringers I was talking about earlier.

Hmmm Rivet gun for mothers day.... did mom get a baseball glove or a bat too?

You'll wonder why anyone does it w/out an air riveter once you use it...

 

[Memphis117]

Works like a dream!

 

[dozerII]

Yup it's real tough to go back to a hand squeezer after using on of those. So fill me in on why you get a Mothers Day gift

Nice work Memphis, keep the pictures coming!

So fill me in on why you get a Mothers Day gift

That's what happens when you assumme:embarassed:

I got a riveter for Mothers Day because I am a mother to three wonderful boys/men! (They're boys to me.) Mother's Day came early for me as well as a few other key holidays will, in order to keep my Jupiter on schedule. FYI, Mother's Day is May 10th, 2015. We have a joke in our family, "What do you are you getting me for your birthday?"

Happy pre-moms day and b-day then

Getting after a resto is blind to gender, so keep after it

I can't imagine life without an air riveter, a perfect present for those who would restore an old tin boat. Looking good on the tear down and clean up. :encouragement:

 

[Memphis117]

Oops, the joke is,"What are YOU getting ME for YOUR birthday?"
