: Thanks Dan,

: I've been following along with you build from the start. Sadly, I
: started about the same time as you and am only to this point. If
: only i didn't have to work for a living, haha. Thanks for the
: reasurance, i'll definately place at least some of the internal
: forms into the hull before i spot weld.

Glad to help! You'll notice I'm not doing everything quite per the manual, which is very good by the way. If you have a kit, I'd follow it to the letter.

BTW: I only run the shop part-time. Mostly nights and weekends. By day I'm a highway construction engineer. It's fun getting paid to play in a really BIG sandbox!
