Thanks:) Now that it's getting winter and I'm stuck up north this year for most of it I"ll try to get the site up to date while it's snowing. Pulling motors to fix a nagging oil leak this winter and check-up. I just like them sitting in the shop better than in the weather.

Anyone else ever build a completely aluminum hatch? I think it is going to be functional and light!

Movement....XT Innovations has her.
The guys over at XT Innovations are in possession of her. Starting with fitting the dash and back seat along with custom bolsters. Now it comes down to how far I can go before the $$$ runs out!
Also received my custom Lightning headers. They are dry to the tip. Should be loud! They really look nice. I've collected MSD Digital 6 Plus ignition boxes, billet alum coils, Bravo 1 Props, etc... |
Velocity 100 Logos?
Dave already has these over at XT Innovations but here is what I was thinking. This hull was the first vee to break the 100mph barrier in 1979. To be clear, I'm not suggesting it was this actual boat, but Steve Stepp designed this hull and broke it before selling mine in 1980 so it wasn't too far from the original.
I also don't think I will ever hit 100mph, more like 80 but who knows. I've found some pretty stout 650hp small blocks I'm building now and after seeing how fast Still Crazy goes, you never can tell. I was thinking it would be a cool tribute and a historic reminder about the Velocity tradition to put this logo on the rear of the bolster seats. What do you guys think? If so, black lettering or outline for the 100? https://sites.google.com/site/mitche...ocitylogos.jpg |
nice project! keep up the good work!

Progress - Headers and Bolsters
Dad and I got the headers fitted. Still haven't cut the 6" holes in transom. Yeah, 6 INCH. A little stressful.
https://sites.google.com/site/mitche...=240&width=320 The guys at XT Innovations got the bolsters together. They look awesome. https://sites.google.com/site/mitche...=240&width=320 https://sites.google.com/site/mitche...=240&width=320 |

Awesome so far, keep the pics coming!!

If anyone is at the velocity shop and can take some pics of the blue 30 getting redone I would greatly appreciate it. I grew up with that boat and would love to see it reborn.
Thanks Jack L |
