Tuesday while mom and I were out, i got the change to take the Tiger's lower hull and dropped it off the cabinet shop. i'm looking to have a replacement made out of 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood and possibly have all parts dove tailed (even though he doesn't think it'll make any difference). 1/4" plywood might not sound like much, but it's a better quality plywood and has more, finer layers of wood than regular ply and is much stronger. I know there will be some spots i'll want to double up on it, such as where the top hull hinges to the lower half, where the front and rear axles exit the hull, where the motor/trany mounts and were i'll be mounting the torsion bars. hopefully today i'll hear from him as to a price - i'm figuring about $150+ I'd do it myself, but i just don't have the space to move around a sheet of plywood, let along a dove tail jig, router and so forth, so i thought i'd let someone do it locally who can. depending on the price and how soon he can get to it will depend on when i'll have him start it. and when he does, i figure i'll give him the top half as well, this way we know it'll match up correctly all the way around.
