I started keeping everything (smalls) in a shoe box just in case. Love donor boats for stuff especially if you can get them free. I know how that goes but usually its bits or sockets that just vaporize into thin air never to be seen again around my projects. Love your videos and can say that whenever i get discouraged with my 87 Chaparral Villian ive been restoring since April 2017 i think of all the work you have put in on yours and it motivates me to finish it. Thank you.

Incredible Job. These videos are the most relaxing things I have ever watched. Whenever I can't sleep put these things on and I am out. Plus the work you did on this boat was beyond belief. Jeez, I didn't think there was anything left in the boat that you hadn't coated in resin. At one point I thought you might peanut butter and gel coat your Dad cause you ran out of boat to coat. Congrats.

Very nice job! Working on a 69 Camaro engine installation I dropped the right hand engine mount through bolt. Heard it hit the cross member but not the floor. Hours of looking and nothing. There's an oblong hole on a VERTICLE face of the cross member to access the mount post bolts. It seemed impossible but I fished in there with my magnet & pulled out not only the bold I dropped but another one too. Amazing what can happen!

I know it's 5 years after the fact, but soapy water works wonders for sliding rubber boots over cables and such.

I noticed in an earlier video the camera man said you were using unwaxed gelcoat inside and now your finishing with waxed gelcoat ,, are the reasons for that just so you dont have to sand inbetween coats or what ?

Hi, I would like some advice on fuel tank placement. Should one place the tanks more to the front to equal the load or should the tank cavity be next to the engine bay?
