nice job. sometimes you just need to make what you want.

I spent the evening fabricating new inner exhaust rings.



Spend another evening and make another set for the outside......Love the red with the metallic in the paint....

Thanks - I kinda figured it was a few hours, a few beers, and about $25 - as opposed to ordering, waiting, paying shipping, and then massaging them to fit right...at $100.

Outside is polished SS flange - so no need.
Would you believe that red is actually a spray-bomb??
Clear over it, and should be good to go.
Mike, this is the weekend you should've come down to work on the boat - the wife's out of town, and the fridge is stocked with beer!

This fabricating part thing is kinda fun.
Spent yesterday making motor mount backing plates - among other things.

Looking good.........To me that is the fun part.......

I due need to make it down their and help you empty you fridge....

You're welcome anytime, and the fridge is always stocked.
Bring your spray gun - I want to get this babe back in the water looking good!

Here's what else I was doing as the paint was drying on the brackets.
Should be ready for paint soon.

At least I found a paint that is damn near an exact match to the Red powder coat. This stuff looks great! I'm really happy with it.

I know most of these refurb threads show $3000 in parts any time there is an update, but I'm trying to show the little stuff that takes time and work.
Hell, I also spent about three hours yesterday at a buffing wheel cleaning up some of the deck fittings.
It's all the little stuff.

I just noticed, in that first picture you can see the 5 gal cans of liquid plutonium. Great dietary supplement.

I think so too!!! Makes nice results!

Looking really nice!
