Not to hijack your thread OP but you mentioned Baypoint. I'm in FLA now but I have friends that stay at Baypoint every year. Small world.

Well it’s been a very long few months. Due to some frustrating times I put the boat build on hold a few months back and been hard pressed to get back at it. you ever get something so far apart and wonder if it will ever float or see the water again ? Kinda were I was at and also had a hard time figuring out what direction to take with power that was a hole lot of back and fourth as well. After getting our weekend lake place set up and being out at the lake the last few weeks I have found new motivation to get back at it I cleaned the shop the other day and got it rolled back into the center ready for more dust to be made. My next big task is finding someone to make me a new fuel tanks and getting those in I’m ready to put in all the bulkhead and stringers up front and get that portion done that will be a big step and once the fuel tanks are in will be a large step done I feel like anyways lol. I had to take a few weeks this winter to redo my cart steering well that turned into a few months then this covid **** happened and so on. So let’s get back it and I’ll post some updates thanks for checking in !!

Going to do the entire build with the Coosa board after a lot of research and talking to dave we will drop a significant amount of weight it building materials and should be stronger if done correctly. With that cabin set up as a race cabin and a full Coosa lay up and aluminum headed engines and smaller fuel tanks it should be one of the Lightest Weighting Topgun’s on the planet lol time will tell Gia is 85mph with conservative run on the dash board engine’s

Plan is 85 mph with conservative engines

Curious on how you like the Carli suspension... I just bought some progressive front springs for my truck. Waiting for the country to open back up so I can get some ladder bars for towing. Trying to stiffen things in the rear up a little. You are doing a fantastic job on the gun project. I don't envy you playing in all that grinding dust. Seems like I itch for a week anytime I visit Dave. LOL

There good so far I do a ton of heavy towing I have rear air bags big traction bars and in the front it’s all aftermarket 30k on the rebuild and seems to be good. Ate one set of front wheel bearings but the wheels have big offset so that’s to be expected. Every 20k I rotation of tires and wheels bearings and all new pads it’s like clockwork lol
