Great, any pictures of the progress at this new stage?
 
here are a couple of progress pics. :D only have to finish installing peices. would love to find an older white sail for it! am also waiting on 2- 5" inspection ports to install for better air drying. not sure where to install them yet.

rob,
nicely done! that is a high gloss finish! it is a huge improvement over the old red paint. I was curious - did you shorten the height of the splashguard? from the previous pictures, it seemed taller.

well done restoration,

thad
 
that is the support for the splashguard which is not yet installed. i did modify it to make it more usable by tapering it down and shortening it though.
