For interior down in your neck of the woods I highly recommend West Coast Marine in Perris, there's also A-1 Marine in Fullerton. If all else fails, let me know, I've got a really good guy here in Bakersfield that I can hook you up with.

Welcome aboard, got any pics of the boat?

Good looking Project there! You should be busy for awhile, but well worth it in the end!

Lots of BBC parts around these guys garages. I'll poke around for ya, I seem to have a knack for finding some pretty sweet engines.

None of us do, really, but only one of us has burned and sank anything, so I wouldn't worry about it that much............... :sly:

Martinez Marine Interiors on Sixth St in Corona did an awesome job on my boat, reasonable and finished ahead of the promised date. I will try to post some before and after shots. He also has a web site.

That's the other guys I was thinking of, they did my friend's Rogers, new wood, carpet, bulkhead, side panels, and stitching for like $1600, looks freaking good too.
