I got a lot of help from my son when we built ours.......he mixed just about every batch of epoxy for it, and we spent many hours together in the shop just pondering...and anticipating.
Your posts and pictures will be part of a journal that others like myself will follow, and that you will look back on with pride and joy!

So we added the Motorwell sides on did some mock stringers made a mistake cutting the depth in the molds had to take a piece of ply to raise the stringers to the right 8O :doh: height and that's why you use the cheaper ply folks :lol: lol o well that mistake won't happen again went back an checked all measurements to make sure everything is right just forgot to measure the stringers height first before we cut the molds

Looking good!
