Re: 1968 15' Starcraft Jet Star Rebuild
Hope you get another couple warm weekends way up there in MI, Jas! You're getting danged close!
Thanks guys!
Yah winner, snow is fine, cold is fine, I just need it not to be a freezing cold rain is all really
That's just not a very fun launch day ya know.
The stern area looks very organized. I don't get what the metal loops are for. Going to bungee the tanks down? In the pic the look too close for that.
Thanks Michael!
Yah, I'll strap those tanks down with cam straps or something. The loops will actually sit just underneath the tank, strap over top. Makes for a nice snug fit. Once the 5200 cures up I'll strap it down so you can check it out.
Building the platform/bench/deck part of this set up is going to be a challenge. It's gotta be strong, easy to use, easy to access the gear underneath, and (here is the key) I need 100% of that space between the bulkhead and the front of the splashwell. See, I have just barely enough space to slide the fuel tanks and batt out of there. Just barely a sliver of room to get em out.
It'll be a little tricky. I have about a dozen different ways of building it swirling around in my gourde, one of them has to work. I'll need to get some cardboard templates going to see what fits best.
