Cigarette Bullet: Hollowpoint
#11
I really love the red, just hot as hell! Thinking maybe a change to the consoles (silver) or maybe the entire cockpit (white consoles, sides, floor). So many options.
Wayne had thought about white tops sides with red boot striping. But she’s been red all her life - might just keep her that way. I need to respray a paint repair on the port side so who knows what might happen.

Friend's Duramax. You know it's back there! But I'm pretty sure the trailer needs some adjusting. I had considered swapping the trailer out with the one under my 311, but this one is the original from Cigarette - the VIN starts out with 188... pretty cool.
I have a 2500 Suburban with an 8.1L and 4.10s.

Hoping to get some work done this weekend...
We had some binding with the steering rams; enough to break a couple of studs. I guess some measurements were off when we installed the rams back in 2021. The rams are installed on the outside, but I'm going to move them to the inside along with all the plumbing. I'll then fill the leftover holes with dowels and epoxy.
I'll probably yank the drive and tab indicator cables out while I'm back there - they're all shot.
I've also got a K-plane that's floppy. Probably a bad seal. These have the old style pins that are notorious for not wanting to come out so I may just look for a good used set - maybe go with longer since I'm leaning on replacing.
I also need to give the 311 some love. I haven't really touched it in a month.
