Hey DG, don't let that frog give you any advice on installing your tail section. Bonding strips is the way to go, but all the damn frog is gonna tell you is "rivet rivet rivet"...

I'm glad that you asked! April 2014 ! (Between family tragedies and PTSD I've lost nearly 2 years of resto-mod time)

Today would have been a good time to re-group, but I had to repair heating coils in our home central-heat unit (same problem as last year)

No work on Vette, but the Mississippi River is working on the levees.......the top pic shows lights in the distance which are about 8 feet above the water-line (taken from the restaurant walkway/patio area tonight)..........the floodgates north of New Orleans have been opened to "keep New Orleans afloat",.................











This pic was taken during the summer looking up-river, when the water wasn't as high-----normally, you would be seeing about 150 feet of sandy riverbank about 15-20 feet below this water.........
