That is a 1950. I'll check to see if there is much difference between the 50 and 51. I have a built one.

Well, looks like I was born in a bad year, 1951. Other than the '51 Chevy what is there? I'll check witrh Mr. Flintstone, there may be a transkit available.

Absolutely.

This is my way of building another hull. Pretty primitive. We'll see.

The glass is finally in. Started adding stuff to the body.

Thank you Chaz. The boat trailer is more than barebones. A few items will need to be scratchbuilt. The work on the second front interior is proceeding.

Yes I smeared it with glue while installing the rear panel. I made a new one.

Made a boo-boo with the rear window, will have to make new ones. Started cutting to make a second hull. Wish me luck.

As for the boat, it will be the fiberglass top, with both interiors , the engine enclosure covererd and a transom opening added for an outboard motor.

Found this while rummaging today. Too bad we can't see the other shelf on the left.

Interior. Not sure about the wisdom of painting the dash body colour but it is what it is.

Paint.

The chassis is ready.

Here goes, if the paint doesn't act up, we have one color down.

Fixed.

What engine is that Claude?

May as well follow suit. I only have 3. The blue body was a gift from a friend and was built around 50 years ago. I think I used the chassis somewhere else. The gray Tudor is an old build as well, early 80's. It was built during my clearcoat over colored plastic phase. The phaeton is newer, perhaps 30 years or so. The brown one is the original build and the red one is the same after restoration.

Thanks Dennis, have you seen my engine threads?

The Suburban will be out of the box which should be refreshing, then the boat. I may have to build a couple of engines "while the paint dries".

This is the makings. It will either be a mahogany cruiser or a matching fiberglass runabout like in the first photo. I which case it will have 1959 appendages.

This is the inspiration.
