1983 Miss Renault build

[dschigoda]

Progress, The cowl should be here in the next couple of weeks or so.

Nice! Please keep the pics coming.

What part of the country will you be racing in?

 

[Dave Brandt]

Joey is from the NW. He races in UNW and RCU.

 

[jojoinotown]

Yea, What Dave said.

 

[Lennard Cuenco]

dang Joey,

this build is inspirational...thanx for sharing your excellent work

 

[jojoinotown]

It is far from excellent, Like I said in first post, this is my first build and have learned many do's and dont's. But the main thing is, I am having a blast doing it. I appreciate all of the posotive feedback and more pics to come as she gets closer and closer to completion.

Joey, I see you drilled the holes for the rudder bracket. Did you do the same for the skid fin, water lines and engine mounts?

havin a blast during my build as well Joey,

half the fun is screwing up the build and unscrewing it again...lol

No water lines through hull, Water will come out of head right behind cowl kinda like a rigger. yes there is aluminum plates in transom for rudder and turn fin. Motor mount holes will go in soon, going to cut a small belly pan to drop motor another 1/4 inch then will set engine alignment and strut. Hopefully going to paint before Christmas. working on boat stand and lil details right now. Since the cowl is not here yet kinda at a lil stand still. Getting all the sawdust and debris cleaned up off the shop floor.

Lennard, Is that going to be a cowl plug? I want to learn how to make my own stuff out of fiberglass and carbon fiber.

 

[Lennard Cuenco]

hey Joey...this is a plug...

problem is, it creates a really long gestation period for my boats...the guys in our district make fun of how long my builds take, but at least i know the cowl is an exact match to the fullsize...so its worth it to me

Roy taught me how to do this and it's all about just gettin'er done...I'm amazed by Phil Thomas' mold work and others on this forum, so I am constantly asking questions (roy has been an amazing resource tbh)...let me know what you need and I'll do anything i can to help

Does this mean your water intake line will run through the engine bay?

 

[jojoinotown]

Yes sir.

 

[Hydro Junkie]

Sounds good, just asking to make sure you didn't forget about all of this and have to rework later

 

[jojoinotown]

Here is a question, does anyne know the paintcode for the yellow? I have heard its corvette yellow but I'm looking for confirmation.

 

[Dave Brandt]

For your wallets sake you better hope it's not Corvette yellow!

 

[Duck899]

For your wallets sake you better hope it's not Corvette yellow!

Yup, just like the smokin joes, double the price of regular colors, lol

 

[jojoinotown]

In the words of Homer Simpson, "DOH!!!"

[Mike Hughes]

Why I asked about weight was it was looking to be eating too much of the holiday meals. If you get my drift. LOL
