Just think, as soon as you get the Ebko done, you can start on the headlight boat!

Seriously tho, it looks great from here and I think you will be glad that you geled it in the end....

One little minor mishap...my el cheapo come-along was falling apart...did not have things as high as I wanted on the final roll over minor liitle pressure point on a corner...easy enough to fix now though...

Re: '78 Ebko Lebaron - Therapy

Congrats!!!....I used the same rope deal to pull my gantry over by myself....working alone can turn you into Macgyver..

She looks kinda like a Scarab on the trailer there, without the winshield.
