These are the latest photos of the ongoing restoration of Close Shave
II. We are looking at name & number painting, last coat of varnish
(9th coat), and trailer refurbish completion, all of this, next week. This
week-end we hope to finish up and install the engine. Everything has gone
well. This photo is the 8th coat of varnish drying.
This photo shows the access panels completed.
This photo shows off the instrument panel after installation. All the
original gauges will be used, fortunately, they all still work.
In this photo you will see a borrowed tail from Phil Kunz sitting on
the decking. Ours will be made from this.
The old deck can be seen in the background. Off with the old,
on with the new.
The natural wood grain is beautiful.
These are the new aluminum plates that were made to hold the water pick-up
brackets. We still have to cut our water inlet hole to make it wet sponson
again.
The brackets were machined by a friend of ours.
New aluminum panels were made to run the length of both sides of the
engine well.
