Here I got the swim platform glued down with epoxy resin thickened with cabosil and glass fibers (rice pellets). Placed a foam block around the top edge so there would be more surface area for the platform to sit on and glue to. After the epoxy set up I tabbed the tub to the swim platform inside and out. In the inside I wrapped the foam and tabbed to the bottom of the platform.

That is looking awesome. I may be trying it in a few months. Transom and stringers are on my list next month.

Spend a small amount of time on the bracket this weekend, Lot of my time got burnt on my vacation/trip to get a sf cap from another member on csc. here in We went to Charleston SC (the family) and picked it up on wend. and then stayed in Georgetown that night. Then we hit myrtle beach on the way back up to NC the next day and made a dual purpose on the trip. Stopped in Wilmington to watch the fire works on the 4th on the way home. Turned out to be a good little trip. The cap will be going on my bare 1971 20' sf hull. This will save some time in the future and keep me from having to make them from scratch.

What year is that Cheby C20 with the mod slotted mags?

It looks like a F-250 Ford Sandy. Your eyes are the second thing to go.

It's a 1969 short bed step side. Doing a full off frame resto on it. New rockers floor and such. Going to be more a street rod than original. I has a factor 4 bolt main 400 sbc, I plan on going a little over mild but not to wild. Big cam and high rise intake ect. Going with a narrowed 9" ford with a little larger meat under the rear. I also just sold a running 1971 c10 long bed fleet side about a month or two ago. To much rust on that one. The 69 in the pic dont look like much but it is a solid foundation.

Here is a better pic of the 69 sandy:

The 71 I just sold:

My trailer queen 71:

I got this car about 15 years ago at age 15 before I had my drivers license. I was a stock car barely running but it has been slowly reworked by me and my father for years now. Not finished yet but far enough along to have fun in.

I`m in redneck heaven there. How do you like that demon carb? Heard great reviews vs holley, edelleakdown etc. Nice split bumper.

Shortbed, check.
Stepside, check.
#`s match. check. Those extra long rear trailing arms hook tf up. Bruno was a 52 f1 with a 3/4 `50 olds rocket with trip strombergs that were a pain to sync. Been thinking of going back in time again for a long time now. Never leaves your blood.

Cheers,

Love the demon carb, this one is adjustable from 980 to 1380 cfm. More adjustments than you can shake a stick at. You can really fine tune it well.
Truck is all original and matching minus the motor, the 4 bolt 400 was a find in a part truck. It was suppose to have a 283 sbc in it but once I pulled it found out it was a 400. Happy day that was.
The camaro has a dart little M block with a 4.155 bore and 4.00 stroke. That makes it a 434 ci sbc. 13.8 compression, 680 lift roller cam, Brodix heads fully ported and polished. I will run high fives on a good day. The car is all metal body and is very heavy at near 2850 lbs minus me in it. Plans in the future for a front strut front clip with spindal mount rims with a fiberglass one pice front end and doors. Car still has all glass windows in it too. Lexan will save me a few hundred lbs as well. Hope to get it down to 2400 lbs or so.

Once it is i your blood there is no turning back. You can get rid of them but you will find your self back there again one day.
