I thought I couldn't be more in awe of your MFG rebuild, but now you're adding a stereo too? That is awesome. Keep up the great work!

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

In the 80's today and got the weekend off !
So was able to get the rear speakers installed ..I used some angle I had around to mount the panels ..

Kinda over bent them to help hold thing good and tight . The usual 5200 in the appropriate places ..

Here is the radio installed under the dash .

I was going to buy a reg glove box and already cut the opening for it . But I have changed my mind and decided to fabricate a larger than normal g/b that will install on the backside of the opening . Then I will just make a door out of wood and install a keyed lock .
It seems a reg g/b just never has enough room in them ..
On another note my son has taken up a hobby of turning these model pieces .

Painting them and making these .

I think he has been holding out on me on his painting skills . Gunna have to put him to work helping on the boat ..

That's amazing! I wish you lived 1,500 miles closer. I'm running out of arms and legs to pay the glass fabricators around here.

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

Looks gr8...now what kinda music you gonna be playin'? Very warm down here yesterday, too...Today the winds finally settled down & the ocean is flat. Too bad I gotta go to work. Thursday night, we got 20 inches of rain in my town(Boynton Beach). Floods everywhere, 2 people drowned, roads closed, heck-even I-95 southbound was shut down for a while. This wknd much better...hoping to dry things out. Flood/spillways are wide open....means snook fishing later in the week(I hope). Get on the boat & blast them speakers!!

A most excellent mounting solution to the tunes producers...I fully expect some awesome GoPro vids with some rockin background music next time out...

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

Woody , Taz , Lokonn, thanks gentlemen ! Prolly the easiest fix for a small project ..
friderday, We got a lot of rain up here also . My yard is a wreck ! :facepalm: I listen mostly to classic rock but I enjoy all types . Really love the blues ! Classical /orchestra music is great also from time to time . I like some country but mostly the old stuff . :joyous:
GT , I will see what I can do . I need to get some different mounting attachments for the GoPro . They are pretty fond of those little pieces of plastic !

Wow! Those speakers look wonderful in your boat. I know that I've said it before, but your work is seriously amazing.

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

Awesome job on the speakers.. Looks like your son has picked up on some of the old mans talents..

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

IGT, Decker , thank you for the complement !

Installed my extra large glove box . Basically just a painted plywood box . Made some little supports and stained them for underneath. It provided some needed protection for the radio and really added some strength to the whole bulkhead . Now I just need to make the door and it will be complete.

A little crude but functional . :joyous:

As in my normal fashion of starting new projects before I finish the ones already started . :facepalm:
Had a piece of rough cut cypress laying around so started my rear jump seat cup holders that I have been wanting to make ..

I hope I,m not boring you all with all my small little projects . :bored:
Later guys and gals !! SP....

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

I think it looks great.. Don't see anything crude.. That will make for a very large glove box.. The small details is what makes the boat.. Have a great weekend..:joyous:

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

the small details are what take so long, too! is it me or do the transoms & stringers seem to go fast but rubrails & hardware seem to take forever? looks super-D-duper!!
