Do you have to build a trailer for the boat too?

Yeah built the trailer out of aluminum as well. Need to finish up all the supports. Project I need to get back to before it gets too hot to touch.

Nice work on the engine in the '50. I'd kill for that exhaust manifold.

A California Car Cover. I need to sew on the mirror pockets... Which is going to be fun since I have 3 and want to add another wink mirror on top of the passenger door just above the window divider channel.

Well I haven't played on this post for a while and thought I would play sneaky since none of you all have seen it this way...
