Nice restoration. Thanks for keeping us up to date.

I cant even imagine what the check book looks like !!!
must be 1000 hours into it at this point . Nice work.

I've dogged this project long enough .
Been playin' with a couple of Fountains doin' the normal pleasure boat thing , only I'm not normal and neither are most performance boaters .
The full court press is on to get this thing running for next season . I may even drag it to a northeast race or two if there is a class where it fits . I'd love to do the Manhattan / Hudson race again .
First on the agenda is freshening the motors and starting on the cockpit . Thankfully the hull is ready for rigging and finish paint .
I'm going to do the twin F 16 canopies and squeeze two seats behind the pilot seats if I decide to take someone for civil ride .

if needed I have a pr of BB stelling long y-pipes off of jessie james cc .

Thanks .
I think the Jesse James ran small blocks . I have Stellings W/Y pipes and the are beat .
I've heard you can send them out for reconditioning .
Who is expert at this and what is the cost ?

You can call Stellings and they will give you a name and # to a guy that they send them to. I had 1 header that was leaking around the collector so he had to remove and reinstall a new collector. All together it was $450 and the header came back shining like new again. I thought it was pretty cheap considering the price of Stelling headers.

Thank you .
I thought Stellings was out of the exhaust business .

Look at the piles of junk that need rebuilding or replacing . I plan to have all this stuff done as nicely as the hull in which the Itchiban guys and Vinnie P have set a high benchmark .

No more dodging on that classic! It's going to be killer when you finish! I'm living vicariously through your build. Bob

That would be an awesome OPA class 2 or 3 boat!
