I really like that kind of custom car. When I see something like that at a car show,I just look and look and try to figure out , what is it,what did they do to it , what kind of other car parts are on it,what is homemade ect. Very nice job!

Thanks guys, nice to know some people get it.[cl
On a different note, I live on the Seneca river in central NY (Erie Canal) and grew up here being a river rat. As a kid I would see these cool finned car looking boats running around and then all the sudden they were gone.
They had to be somewhere so I started hunting. Look what fallowed me home the other day. After many hours cleaning over 30 years of grime/mold/mildew and just crap it is starting to look good.
Will be cool behind the 52 and I am thinking that I will just semigloss clear it like the car. Gotta build a very low trailer.[

 

[cosmic12]

couple more, how can ya not love the lines on this? The wife says it looks dumb[S

 

[sawzall]

Your car looks great, I love it! Your boat is really cool, My son is looking for one from that time period too.

Nice boat [cl looks to be in pretty good shape for it's age. Does the rude run[S

 

[cosmic12]

Haven't tried to start it but it isn't froze up so maybe. I cleaned and pickled it tonight and took it off to start butchering the boat. I have to rip the inner floor out to recore it. I opened it up abit so it can dry out. I have to put it away for a bit, I need the shop back for a 37 Ford Club Cabeolet I am doing along with the 52 on the other side of that plastic curtain. The boat will have to wait.[P

 

[Old Iron]

Old boats are cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A friend of mi e has o e of those that just floated into their yard during a flood. They probably won't ever do anything g with it. They said they would probably give it to me. Hmm.....[ddd

 

[cosmic12]

Please get some pics of it. Where? and if you don't want it, well you know.[dr

 

[cosmic12]

Thanks guys. I can't wait to get the "River Rat" behind the 52. That being said, the projects just keep stacking up and there isn't enough time in a day or shop big enough to have them all going at the same time.
Oh, I got that ugly ass windshield off and I promise it will never go back on at least as tall as it is now. LOL

 

[cosmic12]

Almost forgot. This is the plan for the rear deck but I am thinking it will end up being extended and making it a 2 seater.

 

[soltz]

The time and style should have a windsheild but shorter would be good [cl
It's looking really good.

 

[Old Iron]

Never thought of making one a 2 seater!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cosmic12]

Well I have done it again. I got another one. 58 or 59 Herters Flying Fish.
I also got the power for the Custom Craft now deemed "The River Rat" 115hp Merc 6 in a row. A little more than twice what they originally planned for it.

I am not just on boats as I am doing a 37 Ford Club Caberolet and a 57 Ford Fairlane 500 along with getting ready to start the 54 Bel Air full custom project. Very close to starting it and it will be outrageous.

 

[cosmic12]

Sorry about all the boat BS bet ya thought I was a lost cause.
The sun stated shinning around here and I have been working longs hours on a couple of projects for other people when it hit me[S. "I bust my ass so everyone else can have fun with there rides and I still don't have a driver myself and another summer is close"
So I shifted gears a bit and spent 1/2 the day on my 52 and the rest on work.
Guess what? I did it! The 52 went on its 1st cruze yesterday!!!

I am so happy with how it runs and drives, never ever expected it to be this nice the 1st time out. I pulled out of the garage about 2;30 and didn't come back till 11:30 last night. FINALLY

 

[Old Iron]

Now that's what I call a maiden voyage [cl
I know what you're saying about the OP's projects, same thing is happening here too. I've got a 68 Chevy short bed that I've got a LS waiting to be put in it and drive.
I bet you had a lot of lookers
