Need Some Pointers Please

[CVX20]

I started to epoxy the cowl induction scoop to my engine hatch today. It will requird a bunch of work to blend it all together so it looks good. Didn't get much done on it today but I did get a started on it. Need to look for some kind of cool looking billet or tube type grill I can use to cover the open end of the scoop.

Worked on some stringer templates today. The boat needs two 14' stringers and one 12' center stringer put back in. 12 foot and 14 foot stringers can make templates a real pain in the ass to come up with. I made the first set out of cardboard but didn't feel good about going with them for final cut so I transferred them over to plywood then worked them to a good close fit. Got a lil done today so it looks like It's about time to cut out the real deal lumber now.

Atfer sanding and prepping the first coat I got the second coat of cloth and epoxy on the bottom side of the hatch. That should hold the cowl induction scoop good and tight. Now it's time to start on the top side.

Started on the top side of the hatch cover. Long long way to go if it's ever going to look good. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...Project030.jpg

Hey, you're doing just fine. It's looking like your going to have it looking like it was meant to be that way.

Time will tell Greg. I think it was a bad idea to make this my first top side project. Will try and do a nice job but my expectations arn't really that high

Engine hatch is starting to take shape. Have a bunch of filling and blending to do but you get the idea as to how it's gonna look. Think I will get a 70's SS emblem or 454 enblem for the grill

That scoop really looks great on there!! Would have been cool to graft on the front portion of an L88 scoop too I wouldnt put "cowl induction" emblems on though because it really isnt anymore in yr boat. Good luck on the rebuild, I'll be watching this thread now...

Installed the 454 emblem in the grill today. I cut the bars and set the emblem in flush it turned out good. It's still a cowl induction scoop it just happens to be pointed forward LOL LOL! I looked at all kinds of fiberglass scoops to fill the huge hole in my engine hatch and I wanted to use the L88 scoop but they were not long or tall enough for the job.

Did the first test fit today after 3 building coats of epoxy. It has a long way to go but not lookig that bad so far. Need to blend the larger cowl ridge into the smaller deck ridge at the ski eye mounting point. Who needs a big old ski eye sticking up anyway. Do yall think that I need to continue the deck lines all the way up the cowl or did I go far enough to tie things together?
