If you are going to start doing modifications to that boat,
you need to go over your skill set with working with rivets,
rivet gun, sheet metal, power tools, chisels, grinders, drills, etc etc etc.
use the "search" feature in the upper right corner
and search for the topic you need help with.......
there are literally hundreds of projects similar to yours in this forum with step-by-step photos.
it is very difficult to start doing the modifications if you don't
have the correct tools on hand and a good understanding of
your end vision...... make a plan, make some notes, pencil out a design, study the feasability
of what you want to do and the aftermath consequences of your modifications.
it is very easy to start cutting things out - but you can become quickly
frustrated when it comes time to put something back in its place.
the gallery is here to help you - but - you need to have a firm plan first.
also - what kind of power will the boat have, on a trailer or truck bed carry ??
