Today was another good day for lil' ol' Glasspar. Removing all the glass I wanted removed is finished. Done. After a brief intermission (the girlfriends mother wanted me to drive to Annapolis), I returned to the good ol' boat. After looking at all the parts I have, I realized that there were many missing. I stopped by to see the guy I got the boat from. After a short conversation he showed me all the parts that I was missing. Including a very impressive anchor and navigation light. The nav light is huge with fins and a very impressive flag staff above it. I am very happy with it. This boat really is a living relic of the 1950's. I do worry about the finish on some of the parts. The nav light, cleats, steering wheel, and other things need to be rechromed. I am NOT looking forward to that, but, it needs to be done so i'll figure it out.
Tomorrow I will be stopping by Harbor Sales in Sudlersville to talk to the about a 1/8 inch sheet of fiberglass to drop in the boat. I need to sand and fill in some grooves I made when I grinded the glass. After that, she will be ready for a new floor.
Thanks everyone. I will have some pictures of the Nav light and others soon.
