Those people are great to work with, and their reputation speaks for itself. I'm keeping all of the controls and steering Latham, just having it modified and updated. It;s not cheap but everything they do is top notch.
Here are the two tie bars that were used on the triple set up Snakeman Racing. They will cut these down accordingly, and furnish one new tie bar with clevis |

Latham was able to trace the serial numbers on my steering rams and noticed that they were kind of rare heavy duty shaft rams that had been ordered by Ocean outboard back in the mid nineties when the skater was rigged.
All of the work that Glassdave put into careful measuring and spacing of the engine jackplates paid off as the tiebars, wingplates, and rams all assembled together without a hitch |
Bob's company is in a league of their own. There ability and workmanship is second to none. They designed the mount for my Nighthawk Night Vision camera.
Plus the fact is he a nice guy! |

Pretty sure your talking about purple candy powdercoat. Basically the purple is translucient over chrome powercoat base . I was in this business for many years and tiger drylac has exactly what you need however not everyone can properly lay the purple as just a little too much and purple will be dark .

If you send them a sample they can match it. |
Thanks for your replies Larry and Ron.
It turns out that Livorsi will do it for me which is great for matching up the colors:drink: |
That is good news! If these are old alum parts and you are doing the prep work be forwarned , make sure you use fine media as too coarse or aggressive and it will leave to great of profile and you will see fine craters in finished product . I dont wont to worry you , this advice comes from being in the media-blasting/ powdercoat business .
