Engines getting closer

I've been working on the engines, I'm getting ready to take them off the stands and onto my dollies to run the cams in and double check everything before installing them in the boat.
I've made new raw water pump brackets, alternator brackets, and working on the electrical termamal box's.

Check out the pictures. I have all of the brackets programed and can laser cut them if you would like a set for your "H2ot Rod".

Wiring my least favorate thing to do!

A few more pictures that were not in my camera

Boy I've been really bad about everything. I haven't even taken many pictures. So here are a few more. The finished cockpit rear panel, my steering wheel that my Dad put a french braid and turks heads on, a shot of my wiring project, the finished cabin top with the 3 section mahogany window frame, and my new hatch with the SS bared guard.
So if anyone has a comment or wants to know more send me a note.

Long time no update

Well it's been a while sense I have up dated. I got a note from one of my followers to "Update this thing"
I here ya. It's been a crazy summer. Being unemployed from a regular job is fun for 4-5 months but even working on boats everyday is difficult when you don't have money coming in. I'm working again managing a sheet metal shop that specializes in laser/sheet metal fabrication, on high tech components for scanning machines, x-ray, copy and other machines. It is very challenging for me, and having a great time.
I have made a lot of headway on "My Mistress" though I'm working on dressing the engines out, the boat wiring and generally preping for the engin instalation.
I have attached some updated pictures of her, (don't let your wife catch you growping over them) she is getting close, She will be in the water this spring.
Happy building
