Very nice work....

Mac, did you see my posts about those rivets?

I got my trim removed from the side today, paint stripped underneath, and those rivets put into the holes. I just mounted the trim in the same spot, but on the inside of the boat. Seemed to add some strength so I put it back in.

Gives the outside a more modern look I thought.

Edit:Oops I remember you already painted yours.

Yes I read your post about the rivets. It seems I've been spending a lot of time reading this forum and trying to learn as much as possible. Thanks for the reply and posting your project.

Got quite a bit done the past couple of days. I rebuilt the passenger side of the dash. I had to use my jigsaw to cut the 3/4" poplar. I then sealed it, covered it, and installed the storage compartment. I got the top covered with carpet and split windshield installed. I also got the front seating area riveted in. I will be completing the drivers side next weekend...hopefully.
