Ventura Rebuild

[zemo71]

So to avoid being "pruned" as an inactive member, I guess I'll post the progress of my Ventura rebuild.

I acquired a 1970 ventura 1 last spring, and have been making steady progress ever since.

Dont worry, You wont be pruned. Had a oppsie with the web site and didnt catch it until this morning. lol

Looks good. Any recent pictures of it? And what in the world are the holed in the deck from?

Yes, I have a bunch more pics I was trying to post from Photobucket, but the site won't let me do it. "looks too much like spam" Is there anyway around that?
One of the previous owners had a fuel tank up front, and thought it needed to be vented with four huge yacht vents! I have them patched from inside, just need to smooth it out on the topside now.

Should be able to now that you have 3 posts. Its an anti spam feature.
