I dont think anything I can say will replace the pride you get when you just look at how far that ride has come.Cow pasture to a great resto next step showroom.

Re: Next Project

Keep up the work when you get the time. I should be working on mine starting next week. Finally got my car done, and once I pass emissions I can ignore that for a bit...

Even if you feel you're doing little progress, I think you're doing a good job:)

Keep at it whenever you have time.

Is that a 73 Evinrude 50?
I have one exactly like it. Mine is pushbutton shift. We use it on a 16ft 73 Bass Master. Great running motor and pretty easy to work on. Looks like some great work you're doing. Nice project there.

Re: Next Project

Cars good, got the clutch and rear end done the night before the race this past weekend. Took it to the track and everything went alright. Now it's emissions time and then enjoy it for a while. I have a friend who plans to sell his 67 I believe Mustang coupe in Berlin. They were looking to get $8000 I believe and the car actually was restored on a rotissere... It has been sitting but last I knew it looked real nice.

Make a new skin over the old dash with plywood and then glass over it.
