1969 barracuda stringer prep

I have been reading a lot about mustang rebuilds of the same year. would the stringer height be different on the barracuda with the deeper hull?

Ok thanks Pete they are in really bad shape not sure if I will be able to make a template out of them. also my boat rests on the back outside edges of the boat so if I support the front out side edges will that be sufficient? I'm preparing the boat for a stringer job next season should i winterize the motor before pulling it from the boat?

what size Douglas fur will I be looking for? any links to a job like this would be great! I was thinking 2/12/12 for mains? or can I get away with 2/10/12.

Bryan,
I replaced the stringer in my 66 Cuda a couple of years ago and had an
active forum showing the progress and processes I used. I have not been
able to find the forum, not sure what happened to it.
My stringers were really bad but I was able to carefully remove the
floor and then decide which stringer was best to use for measurements.
I then cleared all foam away from that stringer while trying to leave as
much wood in place as I could. When it was clear, I was able to get the measurements and make a complete stringer. Then mirrored it for the other side.
I think that I used the 2/10 Douglas Fur but I think that I had to go 14ft in length as the 12s were too short.
1st is to get the motor out (yes, winterize it before removing).
2nd is to get the floor out and then you will have direction.
Pictures of progress are very important for recommendations from the forum.
Good luck .....

Bryan,
Pulling a engine is really "straight forward". You have mounts, prop shaft, exhaust hoses, cooling hoses and wiring. Lift slowly and look to see if anything is still connected. If you have any wiring that isn't connected via plug connectors, label it.

Don't worry about the hull with no stringers going 20 feet. As mentioned, those 1st generation hulls are tough.

In bad shape
