Winter Project DONE.....I hope

Post by tin can »

The first things on the list were new carpet and upholstery.

With all this done, I used the boat a couple of weeks ago. Found out the steering was a little stiff. Yesterday's project was to remove this:

It's a decent winter project if you have a couple of hundred hours to spare. :roll:
What was I supposed to do today?

Looks good TC.
My week night project for next week is a casting platform. That is unless anybody needs any rods.
