Jeff,

Nice work! Now you have to go back and re-work those airvents so they match that shine. ;)

LeftCoastJeff,
Very nice work. The transition is really great. I'll bet you have a lot of hours in that piece, but the outcome was worth it. I can only imagine how many hours you will have in that boat before you are finished.
Good luck with this build, I keep watching your progress.
Bob

Re: Meet Theresa C.

Jeff, I admire what your doing and look forward to tracking this thread.

If you need any hardware or advice for that ol?' girl; I have just the guy for you to talk to. I used to work the NMMA boat show circuit selling Traditional Hardware (mostly old brass & bronze stuff). We sold alot of new old stock and hard to find stuff. Seeing your pictures brought back alot of old memories.

Good luck to you and Theresa C.

Re: Meet Theresa C.

Ryan, the top and bottom are .25" thick, thicker in the middle.
Top to bottom is 3.75" (9.4Cm.)

I was under the understanding (ya know, hearsay...) that they were the last of their breed.

Funny that it's the same from side to side, doesn't look square, must be the curve that's playing tricks on the old eyes.

What's better than having one project? TWO, more later, I'll start another thread, her name is Mia Nui........

Looks like I'll be busy for the foreseeable future, hope this happens!:)

I sent him an email...I should hear back from him by the beginning of the week.

Last of their breed? Pretty much, but they still can be had. Finding the right size when your looking for it...now there is the challenge lol.

Two projects....:eek:
