Ah Azlo - The missing pieces are starting to fall into place. That's gonna look nice finished. I'm right with Jason on the relief - good little feature.

Hi Az, I'm with Jas and GA_B, that's a great idea to angle in the front lower edge of the doghouse. She's getting better every day! :)

I like that toe kick/relief on the bottom front side Azlo. I think that will be a nice feature, well worth the time to put in:)

The "splash" vid was fun to watch, thanks...

Nice score on the TIG welder...ought to be fun coming up with neat projects to use it on...just don't go rebuilding the original prop, I think it might make a better paperweight...:p

Engine cover looks good, especially the well thought out and properly planned design element of incorporating a good looking and functional 'toe-kick'...:rolleyes:

Happy welding and boating:D

Re: 1968 Holiday Restoration w/pics

something I realised in this trip is that I need several things. 1st, I need a top. man that sun is killer when u dont have anything. 2nd, I need a livewell. 3rd, I need a swim platform. And finally a fan, man it was hot!

I agree on all three and confirmed by my sons. They slept under the bow to get out of the sun. I'd stay out for a week at a time with a top :)

Putting a bimini on my boat was one of the best things I've done. Sitting in the shade(after hours of fishing) is priceless.

Please home-boy, don't post in old threads to "tag" them. Save them as favorites/bookmarks if you want to keep a reference. Azlo finished this one over two years ago. Thanks.
