My spring projects !!
Well so far this spring I have started my engine rebuild just waiting on my heads to come back from the valve job, bought a BG sea demon carb, mores dual lever throttle / shifter to replace the gas pedal, painted the dash white yesterday, and I got a great deal from dollar offshore on some mufflers. I hope after all this I can get some use from this money pit this summer. Also I am happy to say that upon engine tare down we found that all the piston's were hung the same way on the rods, causing 4 rods to be installed backwards on the crank. Cause of death was someones stupidity.

Dash looks good. Sounds like you will be done before me. The machine shop told me a month on my heads and block. So I spend my day at work buying more parts. I hope to get some painting done this weekend.

Re: My spring projects !!
Well here is the dash almost done, just have to make some switch plates and fiberglass a new shifter mount for the morse dual lever. Also I still have to re-epoxy the nose cone and finish the engine, the Snow today made me realize that there is still some time to work before it hits the water.
