Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Still moving forward. Upholstery is taking shape..

Perfect Color and style for the period, Bob!

verry nice job

exceptional workmanship Bob cant wait to see it

After missing the Nerrandera deadline (self imposed) I took my foot off the pedal to re-group, not to mention catch up on a bunch of jobs around home which had been pushed aside for too long. Compunding the matter further, Craig found that the transmission was unserviceable so we had to hunt down parts in the US for this 82 year old Paragon tranny. Craig's eagle eye found a guy reconditioning the Paragon assembly and as of today this is enroute from the US. I'm now back on to Nirvana and moving forward again, albeit at a less frenetic pace. I had been unhappy with the level of gloss on the varnish, but swapping over to some Autosmart products it's now dazzling after a few days on the buffing machine. With the buffing & polishing now complete, the decals went on today as has some of the bright work. Onward & upward plus the project is enjoyable again!

Looking fantastic Bob

Bob,
This is really coming along, the attention to detail is terrific!
Do we have a "Launch" date yet?
The next CAWPBA event is Eppalock....maybe?

I'm now aiming for the Classic Boat Festival at Paynesville, early March '24.

Actually that sounds an ideal unveiling and maiden voyage.
Hope the trailer is up for the long journey

Patterns made today for the windscreen. Now... what to do tomorrow?
