John, that is awesome you guys are doing a hell of a job, if I weren't so far away I'd be dropping off one of my LP's for you to practice on!..

Hmmmmmmm....:disillusionment:

I know Art, look at the type of riffraff they're letting in.

Looks great Jeff. Let's see more!

Someone has to keep you oldtimers on your toes around here.

The boat looks great John, it definetly went to a good home. Cant wait to see it on the water.

The exhaust has to be favorate part. Verry cool idea !!

Ok John, we know you got skills so quit showing off! I finally saw some saw dust in one of the very last pictures you posted. Most restos of this level don't look this clean like you could eat off the floors when the rest of us do them! It's OK buddy, show us the "other" pictures, you know the ones you took before you made Ian clean the boat for the photo shoot. Very nice work! Is your blower motor going in this boat?

VERY cool looking project

Thanks everyone for the kind words. If my son and I can do this, anybody can. Trust me, I make more than my fair share of mistakes.
As far as motor, I'm going to use my blower motor Barry Obler of Obnoxious Racing Engines built me a few years back.

For a pump, I've got a Berk pump that I need to figure out how to rebuild and will be spinning a AA stainless impeller. The intake was machined by Chris Starkweather of B1 racing and he built us a really nice custom backcut shoe and some blended shims. Also got a rideplate too.



Austin Cole of AHP Powdercoating sent me a bunch of different color samples and we taped them to the boat. Jan and I sat and staired at them for hours trying to find the right color



The color we settled on is Illusion Red and matches one of the colors of the boat really well. Plus it's got some nice small metallic in it as well.
