    Thanks Woobs. The glass guys did a great job. Won't be in the water until 2014 though.

    There is something about the lines of the 16, 18, 22 that when you restore them they simply look new. This baby looks new, but old, as it should. It's like a freshly restored classic Vette!

    Great job. can't wait to see more.

    SG:
    Thanks! - Probably the original setup: Renault/Mercruiser 80hp with Merc 0 drive

    Vette: Thank you - will post new pics as we progress

    Bert - Thanks, can't wait to see them side by side (your red vs. my White/Red) Really enjoyed the slow motion ride in your Baby in BFLO!

    Mario - Thank you.

    Greg: Thanks. Trying to keep it as close to stock as possible.

    Agree...that tumblehome and hull/deck joint are really vintage.
