I knew you could bring it back from the drop!!! Very good looking build. Dennis

Congrats. That's a lot of typing!! Dennis

Casey, your boat is looking good. You could always go the whole 57 Chevy look with the fins also?. Dennis

A few more pictures of the progress. Bottom of the hull painted, pinstriped and polyurethane. Deck interior and engine panels cut out.
-
Here’s a few pictures of the construction of the deck. The hull of the boat looked too shallow to me. I added 1/4” to the depth of the boats hull and wrapped it in Mahogany veneer. Dennis
-
I set up a fence on my band saw and cut strips of the Canary Wood. Each strip of Canary Wood got a strip of heat activated iron on Maple veneer. Then they were glued together to make up the blanks to go in the perimeter of Mahogany on each side of the center Maple strip. Dennis
-
Here are the woods I used building the AMT boat. The deck consists of 3 types of wood. Perimeter is 1/8” Mahogany. The center strip is Maple. The “ boards” are Canary Wood with iron on Maple veneer strips between the Canary Wood “boards”. Thanks for looking. Dennis

I’m starting a build post on the AMT boat kit. The kit is based on a Chris-Craft boat. Some of you may have already seen some pictures of my boat in progress. Some in the post about th reissue of this kit, the one I’m building is from the Buyers Choice issue. There are also some pictures of it in my 1954 Mercury Woody Workbench post. Thanks for looking.

Yes that moulding behind the rear wheel openings should be there!! But it's not a hard fix, even after paint. Just make a mould of the existing trim then cast it in resin, trim to proper length, attach and foil. Dennis

Very sharp group of builds!! I like them all. Keep up the excellent work!! Dennis

Great looking Charger!!! Should look sharp on the shelf!! Dennis

I know it’s probably too late, but I’ve worked on a lot of 60’s and 70’s Fords. I believe the stamped steel brackets on the front of the engine were painted satin black. I’ve helped in the restoration of the engine compartments of 60’s and 70’s Shelby and Boss Mustangs. They are all satin black. Dennis

Good looking Ford Jeep, Art!!! Dennis
-
I might be mistaken, but I think I read somewhere that Shelby originally planned to build 12 convertibles. From what I read that they still had the VIN#'s for those cars and in the 80's or 90's they completed those cars from NOS parts as 1966 models. Again not sure where I read it. Possibly Super Ford magazine or one of the Mustang magazines. Dennis

Fine looking Olds!! Dennis
