Re: My Chieftan project
Why certainly, some of the best creative ideas come while indulging in a few beverages.
Ok, now on to the work.
Installed the new shutter. Such an easy task. As you can see in the pic on the left is what was the old shutter. Yep, pretty much nothing left of it.
Then on to the engine......Installed all the power steering apparatus, pulley, hoses, etc. from the other engine. Gonna pull the pulley back off and do a little paint on it as it was off the other engine also and needs to be cleaned up. But so far all the parts I changed out have matched up well.
On to the port side fuel tank and bulkhead. Bulkhead, fuel lines, and sending unit wiring completed except for the trim piece that goes inside the middle trim piece running horizontally on the bulkhead. It was in the fake wood grain look so it was painted black today and will put it in tomorrow.
Finally all side cabin windows completely installed today. Called the glass co that works with the polycarb and they said just bring the boat by and they will cut, bend, and fit the front cabin window so it will be a one piece window. . . bring it in the morning and it will be done by evening. Said poly will cost $90. Can't argue with that.
Received a couple goodies today in the mail, 6 position switch panel and the hydraulic steering cylinder. Still waiting for my alignment bar and antenna mount.
