Very nice with cold in Canada when will you be able to use it? What is being used for fasteners with the epoxy? I assume the deck underside skins will be epoxied.

I had the same problem with a comment post to Currethers it indicated error and does not appear on the site but it appears in my posts made?...

Carruthers
What are you using for fasteners, stainless, bronze, staples, nails? I see some pattern indicated on the sponson that look like staples but no traces visible on the bottom. What was the reason for the sponson seam large bevel rather than a typical miter fit that I recall from pics that...

Expert rebuild, never enough clamps and ways to use them.
I see double skins on part of the left and right rear non trips with lightening holes. Were those original for extra strength by Shannon or were they added by Mr Carruthers with the new skins? Of the latter what was your reason?

Excellent restoration, looks like the pickles will be rounded, Shannon Bowman did a great frame design. Will you be adding a toe tie fixture at bow?...

[ZUL8TR]

Are spectators allowed in the pits, fee to do?

Were the Y80 rings OEM that come pre gapped and have marks for install toward the head or after market that usually requires end gap filing? If after market what end gap did you use?

I agree to throw away is bad, history lost. Do you have any pics of the left sponson chine damage edge repair before the new skin? Nice craftsmanship.

[ZUL8TR]

I have done a complete builds and a number of restors and enjoyed the process and the final result is a reward. Keep um running!

[ZUL8TR]

That's a good reason to do the same.

Well looks like all the skins are being replaced, can't see other side chines to verify? In the beginning did you know all this work was to be done or just said do what is needed to get it right?

On the tunnel 7B knows from experience with or without....

[ZUL8TR]

Almost all the skins are off, save 2 not trips and a right sponson chine, maybe those are in the to be removed?
What was the reason that the short tunnel on the bottom rear was not put back as original? Might change the ride performance of the Bezoats?

[ZUL8TR]

There are always enough clamps ;-) Great progress. I see the sponson bottoms removed rather than fool with rusty fasteners, good to do....
