Re: ‘89 HST rebuild ( Blown out bottom)

No worries bud, there’s plenty left to watch. Well, the three gallons arrived and I soon realized that I was going to be short AGAIN. ARGGGGG!!! Got the rest of the bow stringers fully glassed in as well as the bulkheads, floor , seat bases, foot throttle pad, and floor side rails with the three gal...

Re: ‘89 HST rebuild ( Blown out bottom)

The steering wheel cover was coming apart so I stitched up a replacement.
Definitely not perfect but a fun little project nonetheless.

Re: ‘89 HST rebuild ( Blown out bottom)

I put the deck on so it would be easier to roll outside for the gelcoat grinding. While waiting for the temperature to rise tomorrow, I decided to make a mold for the windscreen. I’m running the sides a little further back as it seems to look better with the long lines in the deck shape. Hot glued p...

Re: ‘89 HST rebuild ( Blown out bottom)

I get it Kevin!! When we bought this property in 07, it was an alfalfa field. We knew the importance of a large heated shop so it was the first building to get erected. It has surely paid off. This is the only way I can get so much done. I’m out here 8-10 hrs a day. It’s 5* outside today and 65* ins...

Re: ‘89 HST rebuild ( Blown out bottom)

Just because I don’t have any resin doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do. The ski locker hatch looked like it was made from pallet wood and sheet rock screws. I went to Home Depot and got two 8’ sticks of Mahogany 1x4 and made a new one. There was just enough scrap to make the glove box door. A new to...

Re: ‘89 HST rebuild ( Blown out bottom)

Today I used the last 2 qts of my resin to glass in the bow stringers and replace the sponson tops I had to remove to get access to the hull. I glued in the ski locker carpet, spread structural putty with a 1/2” wide X 1/4” deep trowel on the tunnel tops and bed in the floor. There was just enough p...

Re: ‘89 HST rebuild ( Blown out bottom)

Lots of resin was mixed today. Got the stitchmat laid down, balsa bedded in center pad and tunnel tops. Ski locker floor and forward bulkhead glassed in. Realized 5 gallons of resin isn’t going to be enough. Got 3 more gallons ordered. Two should be enough but I don’t want to run short again.. [ Pos...

Re: ‘89 HST rebuild ( Blown out bottom)

Watching the tracking for the stitchmat. It arrived an our facility 5:15 am. Changed to “out for delivery” at 10:00am so I decided to get started. I checked level again and used two floor jacks to hold the front stable. Put three layers of mat down. Need it to kick before I add more layers. I’m maki...

Re: ‘89 HST rebuild ( Blown out bottom)

While waiting on the stitchmat to come in, I made a glove box. It fits behind the opening the old stereo was.
