| The jig is built
and bolted to the floor which will temporarily hold all the framing for
the Yankee Doodle V. The blueprints are taped to the wall and we
are ready to start building her. |

These two pictures show
the frames fastened to the jig.

The work begins to fasten
all the stringers to the frames.

The shape of this racing
hull is now really starting to come into play.
I am accumulating the mechanicals as I
continue to put the hull together.
So far, I have parts of three V8-60's,
a two barrel manifold, a magneto, Edelbrock heads, and a rare set of Glenwood
water cooled, aluminum exhaust manifolds. I'm well on my way,
engine wise, but I'm always looking for
V8-60 stuff.

Here she is off the jig. Bottom is on and
it's coming off the jig. I thought I was good at cleaning up glue but I
missed allot. It's hard to get it all when your laying on your back. Should
be easier now that she is right side up. I have to do some fairing before
I can start putting the sides on but I'm plugging away. |
