Your Winter Projects And Results...
 

oh crap! . . . . . i better get started on mine :eek:

IMCO shorty upgrade

also, installed hardin seastrainer from Doller and a garmin 498 gps.

Start restoing my formula... havent even picked it up yet.:rolleyes: :mad:

Installed new strainers from TRICK and new Garmin GPS.

Thanks,

1 New dash made from balsa, plywood, glass and a **** load of sanding

2, paint. rub rail up was white and I think the red is sexy

3, new tabs and steering. first is old tabs with internal hydraulic steering. second pic is with new tabs but external steering is not done yet. I'll post pics with steering soon

4, New fairing which is at paint right now. going with silver as i think it contrasts the red nicely

5, stereo system si comming soon. fiberglass pods look good but need a few hours of finishing. I live in MI so I have a good two weeks before I can even think of putting it in the water anyway.

6, best of all of them. New power. edelbrock performer rps's with inconel and a B&M blower and ultra light exhaust system(compaired to stock iron anchors)

also redid the bolsters but I cant get them out until all the fiberglass is put away so more pics to come

no test drive yet. still a little cold here for that. hopefully in the next week or two.

I need to get over and get it uncovered and hope nothing happened to the inside over the winter. It is stored on the 2nd level up so all should be good. This year just need to clean up and go.
