Hi, I'm making some progress here but feel more like an archeologist than a boatbuilder. This boat sure is crumbly. Anyhow, I wanted to post some photos of the new stem. Now I'm working on frames and have the new keel and stringers roughed out.
I had to tape and zip tie it to keep its shape

Glad to see another one saved from the burn pile.Good work on the jig, just one more reason it takes so much time to properly restore one of these ols girls.Your on a roll now.
Pete, ordered a new dbl. taper drive shaft today, for the '57 StarFlite. Add a little hi tech with old school. I am SO CLOSE to the finish..... ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

Doc Time will be ready for SJRR... Finishing up all the little things eats up as much time as the varnish..........But she will be there in all her glory...
