The string will help me line up the hull, and measure for two additional frames. (needed, I think, because of 1/4 inch ply skin.)

Did very little on boat today. But made this tool (to use with a socket wrench on extension) to turn over the engine in SOUPER, so I can find the timing indent to set the distributor.

4/10/11 --

Added two frames today, glued them in place with thickened epoxy. They are held in place until epoxy cures with screws and clamps. Filled a few nail and screw holes with leftover thickened epoxy. Might add filler blocks later, where bottom pieces meet side pieces. Might not.

Mixed up a small batch of "straight" epoxy and spread it on the outside sides of the boat.
