Kennyboy Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Been trying to give equal time to both this and the '57 Speedster that will pull it..... Got some more body work done on the boat. Had to build in the back area with Evergreen around the engine compartment due to how rough it was from sectioning height and length from the Scarab. These photos are after the third fill of Tamiya white filler, filed, shaped and then wetsanded with 400 grit. The windscreen was made using the convertible roof from the Saleen Speedster. It is getting there!! Slow but sure..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyboy Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Awesome!!! Thanks Kerry! Put the floor in last night after I posted the above photos. Needs the "dashboard" next I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynoMight Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Awesome! Will the engine be behind the driver or in front? I'm only sort-of-kind-of familiar with these kinds of boats.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyboy Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Thanks Glenn! No problem Glenn...... the engine will be behind the driver. The engine will be driving a jet drive on the transom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyboy Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Impressive work Ken, engine looks killer and so detailed. Thank you Carl. Working on the plug wires (16!!!) at the moment. Never wired up two magnetos before. Time consuming for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
