[QUOTE="smackdaddy53, post: 333880, member: 10154"] Broke out the grinder and twisted wire cup wheel and got after it Monday for about an hour after work, yesterday I got about another hour in and burned up my "new" grinder and had to go pick another one up and today I finished up one side down to bare aluminum. You have to wear that safety gear or the aluminum dust, old paint and wire shrapnel will get the best of you. I hope to finish up tomorrow on the other side and take off the motor. I unbolted the jet foot to take with me to weld the intake fins on while it is at the shop again. Hopefully this will be the last time to drag it the 100 mile round trip to my buddies shop. On a side note, I am trying to wrap my head around the best place to put my two drain holes. My tunnel and pods take up all of my transom so maybe I will have to come out of the bottom ribs on each side of the tunnel like it was before. It is not much but it is progress!
