Re: "Geronimo" 54' 3100 LS built in PA

4-9 Joedoh what is barkus? I'm actually not in butler much at all. Maybe once every year or two.

So been busy with life. Should be closing on new house this coming friday, so still trying to spread my time throughout all these projects. Weather has turned for the worst around here lately, lot of rain and snow.

So turbo heater on and my full mechanic suit and I felt like it was mid December! I had to modify this vette brake pedal way more than I liked. I will most likely never use this again. What I didn't take into consideration is the amount I moved the steering column over, interfered with the pedal. So I added about and inch spacer to space the pedal away from the column. I also had to lengthen the pedal. Glad I had material and a plasma cutter. So pedal is pretty good now. I like the pedal to be about 7" from bottom of floor.

Then onto some more patch work. on DS the inner and outter cowl were ruff. rather than replace the whole inner and outter cowl I been piecing them together. For one, trying to save money and two want to preserve the patina (which isn't that much in this area). Often times it about evens out with making patches and the time vs. the cost of new panels. So far no regrets. Just been making most of everything.
