CNW President Art Spinella built the Miss QT for use at the company's Lakeside Conference Center which is boat-access only. The only jobbed-out work was electrical. "Electricity scares the tar out of me," he claims.)

The boat is constructed of mahogany framing including the dash and seats, cedar decking and bronze or brass hardware.

Here are just a few photos of the finished project.

The Flying Lady is a replica of a 1941 Cadillac hood ornament.
