Got some electrical done and fabed up the rear deck door. I also cut a hole to install a second pole mount for the front deck right behind the other one. This way he will have an adjustment to move the seat back a little bit

My whole family has been extremely sick the past 2 weeks I'm just getting over it and I had a chance to make some progress today. I got floor Foam, floor plate, and the front deck fascia plate installed. I plan on finishing up the electrical by this weekend and hopefully wrapping this whole project up by the end of the 1st week in January

I know the kind of time, effort, expense and most of all frustration that goes into a rebuild like that.
But there's also something about taking something old and on its last legs and giving it a whole new life thats pretty rewarding.
Good work and keep it up.

Almost done with electrical. The back came out nice. I'm definitely going to keep it all clean and tight. Something about neat electrical work that really sets it off.

Thanks brother , trying to get started with TIG and was curious.
I’m hoping to build my rear access door like you did.
The storage areas are what’s giving me the biggest trouble now and until I get my welding skills built up it’s frustrating knowing what I want and not being able to put it together lol.

Well not to discourage you but aluminium tig welding on old jonboats is about as hard as it gets.

LOL I have been learning that lesson a lot lately :)
I’m “All-In” now and there’s no turning back so I just have to keep on plugging away at it. Hopefully it will fall into place soon
