Default Put the bird in a nest

Getting my boat back together bit by bit. Need to store it for a month or two till the guts are ready. Found a great indoor storage area. SWEET!!!! Some nice nice nice RV's in there too.

Geez - How come you left the tabs on? Everything else is gone!

Going with Ilmor 725/Indy packages???

Chuck, actually the tabs were off too. I had them removed and thru bolted. The factory doesn't do that. I'm rebuilding the power I already have with the Whipples and re-rigging to clean up the factory stuff, add lights and make it all new again. Certainly can't sell it and so might as well fix it.

Phantom - What brand of wax or polish do you use? The boat looks likes it right off the show room floor.

Thanks......I really don't know as I've had someone else take care of the boat for the last 4 years. We live about 80 minutes away from where the boat has been kept. It only make sense to take care of your stuff......I mean, it's yours right?

Maybe I'll branch this thread off into some other issues I've had to deal with this year. Not pretty and not "healthy" for Formula owners.

Yes. I didn't have an issue with this but someone else mentioned it to me and it got on the list of "hey.....while we're doing all of this". I hate that friggin list.

Yeah, but that was an easy one since the holes were already marked.
