Good videos on intermediate fiberglass repair methods

Postby Don McIntyre - MI » Thu Nov 26, 2015 10:04 am

Guys -

Recently, while falling into the YouTube wormhole, I came across a series of well done videos from Jamestown Distributors. In this series of videos, they fabricated up a carbon fiber hard top, to replace a worn canvas top. Pretty well done:

Don,

I too have gotten down the Jamestown Video wormhole. This is a good video of their 13 restoration and crazing repair..

Bet that 13 footer looks good from 50-feet away.

Thanks for posting the links to this very interesting construction project. I watched all three parts. The essential concept I learned from this: don't try this at home.
