So I have all the deck plywood installed and started laying out the pattern for the planking. I ended up making a 20’ straight edge by laminating some 1/4” plywood strips together. Used that to lay out the planking plan and will use it as a router guide for cutting the deck seams.
  Also steam bent the piece that goes across the deck at the transom, I think that’s the last time we’ll need the steamer on this on.  I ended up rebuilding the dash as the old one had been altered from the original gauge layout quite severely and repairing all the holes was going to be more work than fitting a piece new piece.  Here’s the fore deck layout, the deck had been replaced by the previous owner and what they put back was not even close to the correct pattern. From what few photos I could find 1956 had a one year only deck pattern and had a nice alternating staining between blonde and the red mahogany. That will become more apparent as I gel the decking installed.  |

Retirement looks to be really rough and hard on you Alan. Keeping busy is the secret to a long and healthy one. Fabulous work as always. She's gonna be a Purty Boat. Any thoughts on a name for her?

Started building the engine bay hatch. I altered the framework just a bit to try to get me some more height for clearance to the flame arrestor. The old y block that came out had side draft carbs but the 302 going in has a typical 4 barrel and needs more height than the old hatch design could offer, my measurements show it’s still going to be real close. If the hatch doesn’t close we’ll figure it out when we get there.

Few more shots of today’s progress.
   Figured it was time to quit for the day when I tried to install the last piece of plywood upside down onto fresh 5200 and made a mess.  |

Hatch planking just needs a little more fine tuning and it’s ready to be fastened down.
