I gotta get some upholstery on there REAL QUICK to cover up those two holes, otherwise I'll never hear the end of it.

Yep Duane, if nothing else, it is solid...........and HEAVY. Dan and I flipped it the other day, and he commented his '29 steel body is actually lighter. I am just about through the 4th gallon of resin, and somehow have used up about 12-13 yards of mat, so it certainly isn't going to flex. If you have ever picked up a gallon of resin you know how heavy they are, so 4 X that has added some weight to it.

By comparison, when I got the body I could pick it up and put it on the frame by myself. He and I were both happy to set it down the other day, as it was pretty heavy to hold. It reminds me of some early production fiberglass boats. Back when they started using fiberglass they didn't know how strong it was, so they built the first generation boats as thick as they had been building wooden ones. Some of those boats were the best ones ever made. I had a 1965 Chris Craft 27 footer, and when I cut a hole in the bottom for the depth finder transducer, it was 1 inch thick down there !! But the boat was a tank, and even after years of use never had one stress crack. New boats develop stress cracks sometimes before they ever leave the dealership because they are building them so thin nowadays.
