Project Liberator
- Thread starter jdeaton
- Start date
All three assumptions on your part are right. The work never stops on any boat I own. I have been selling Chevrolet parts to buy outrageously priced Ford parts, that money should be here by next weekend. So the ludicrous cubic inch Ford, (under the mad scientist Patch) will still be built. The LIberator is a good candidate for that motor, but it weights a TON, and I have expressed a desire for something lighter. Which lead to an offer being made on the boat. So until the money tree sprouts another branch, the labor continues. Confused?

Well more DRAMA in the Liberator build. The Chevy buyer backed out, a personal situation came up. Sooooo! It just happens that a fresh 468 Chevy block comes up for a song, and I have been regretting selling the Chevy parts so cheap, So I'm back on building the Chevy again. Just wont put it in the LIberator, I'm still going for a Ford. The Mad Patch is cooking up something strange in that department.
Meanwhile I'm doing glaas work, and here are some shots of my progress.

Trailer is ready to pickup, will take the wood with me to work and replace the carpet and cut new fender pieces and carpet them. I'm almost finished polishing the diamond plate and will pop rivet them on when I get back from this hitch offshore. Soo if all goes well the trailer should be ready to slide under the boat in mid December, but I will paint the bottom of the boat before that happens.
I have pictures of the work on the trailer, but I don't know how to get them off my phone and on my computer. They were sent as a text, so any computer guy, speak up.

support? support for what? you aint hanging a 500 lb. outboard on the back, take a look and see how many liberators have a plate that big, must be a reason why that plate is there and it aint for support. my '86 liberator transom was 1/4"
More glass work, almost finished.
The first and third pictures are of the area I am grinding out and reglassing.
The second picture is the repair of the bow eye.
The last picture is the top of the tunnel where I think someone hid something and I will be repairing that area.
