I sold my yeller truck and bought me a new one

Nice King Ranch KC,How is the project coming along.

KC,

Sweet looking truck, better keep that young one that confuses 4 wheel drive with amphibious away from it. :)

Good luck with it,
Rick

Did you have the dealer make sure it has the 400hp- 800tq reflash? It's free and holds in gear longer with a 2% increase in mpg

No I didn't, I'll check on it. It is not the King Ranch it is the Lariat. Here is a video not mine but just like it.

Project is coming along Bill rebuilding the supercats with blower pistons and new blower cams for the 3.3 whipples right now.

Rick, No she will not be driving dads new toy.

Met Kenny Friday afternoon a couple of hours before the race village and street party opened up. He spent plenty of time patiently answering my 99 questions and went for a ride with me. Learned a bit and had a great time.

Kenny- thanks appreciate your time and the great service for a customer who bought a used Velocity through OSO and not Velocity. Really appreciate you bringing the swim platform ladder to me, don't see that kind of service much any more so Kudos to you and Velocity! Hope you guys had a good run today.

Thanks,
Rick

Rick, Did Kenny air it out?

Yes, we had a good ride. Later that afternoon went for a nice ride and thought I was doing pretty good until that blue 390 knocked me back into the lil' kids playground- and I'm pretty sure he had the cruise control turned on! :)

Speedmaster #6's rebuilt 1.35 ratio and ready to go. Cams and pistons going in this week on the 509's then the 3.3 Whipples.

How's the project coming KC? Get those motors fired off yet :)

I just ran across the Lake Texoma video and watched it to the very end again- wowsa that was a wild ride... bet you never even noticed the hit was hard enough to split one of the bolster frame tubes. :eek: just noticed this week the right front frame tube was shortened the hard way. Dang that must have been a hard hit, hard enough to make the hog go blind? :party-smiley-004:

Boat's running great and finally had a bimini made to ease up on the no a/c conversations with the wife.
Rick

That tube was like that when I bought the boat, Looks like it got water in it and froze and busted the tube best I can figure, No less a hard hit and I was in the standing position. Cat is coming along slowly but surely sorta like Johnny Cash's 49, 50 51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69,70Cadillac

Now that the elections are over and my work schedule is back to normal so I can make some time to help a brother out and save him the airfare by making myself available as a stand in driver for the shake down cruise. :lolhit:

I know.... you've got it covered; I'm just trying to weasel a ride on Crazy Energy's replacement- Wicked Energy.

Rick

Your more than welcome. No A/C tell the wife. We will all get drunker than Dick was when Haddi died.. At the dock of coarse.

I finally found another set of Stellings headers and 5" dry tails. The other set I bought were said to be tested but leaked like a sprinkler system. These came out of a 40 skater flat deck as seen in photo's. Also got a tie bar for the 6's.

You can call Stellings and they have a guy you send them to in California and he can repair them for you. He did one of mine and had to put a whole collector on for $450. When it came back it looked like new. If you still have your old Stellings you could do that and resale them to recoup some money. He basically charges by the hour.

I got the guy I bought them from take them back so I don't have them anymore.

Found a Boat Cover. Thank you 40FlatDeck.

Bought a couple of Teague Custom marine 12 quart oil pans They come complete with Dipsticks and Oil Pumps and pick-ups already mounted on the pumps. The pumps have been bluprinted and all screws laced and pickups welded.

Damn I had to go back quite a few pages to find my thread, Any way our engines are coming right along for the Cat. These engines were in my flying V-320. The Supercat motors. we rubbed on them a little to up the HP, next - we add the polished carbed Whipple 3.3's W/ coolers and 1050 dominators to go on top of those supercat engines.

3.3 Whipple pump

Who's building this one , your last project turned out first class . Her new owner seems to be having fun with it . Sure this will turn out great as well .

My good friend Bob Oetringer in Florida is doing all my work. This one will fly. Bob has his sh!t together as you can see by the Looks of his shop. I'm uncomfortable walking in his shop with my shoes on!

where are your flame arrestors form the Super Kitty's? I want them if possible.

Ya Bobs a Class act all the way!

I still have the arrestors but Bob won't let me give any parts up till he is satisfied we are completely done. Bob gets mad at me if I interfere with his train of thought. So I just stand back and let him do what he does best. When I gave him the boat he asked what do you want to do with? I told him it's your boat do what you want. That's all he needed to hear and told me, "Get out of the way I'll call you when it's done". Heee! When I go to the Doctor I trust his decisions and don't tell him what to do and treat Bob the same way. Bob does have a CAT-PHD you know.

LOl, good comparison. Let me know when the good doctor is done, and post some pics so we see how she is coming along!!! :lolhit:

Will do

Do not ruin that cat with that spot lite

Thanks Johnny I'm thinking the same thing so I'm mounting it on one side or the other using a actuator to scope it up and down in and out of the sponson it will be flush with the deck when in the down position most likely using a hatch deck lid so you will never see it. :)

Mr. Bob gave me a Engine's update. Got a little bling bling going on.

Hopefully those highly polished chrome valve covers will be easier to clean than my old polished aluminum ones were.:bunnydance:

Surely we can get 75 MPH out of these. those Stellings headers in the background will look nice on here with the 5" cannons

Still chugging along with the Cat project. Gimbals are ready for epoxy primer and paint , and the engines are about 85% ready, then Bob can start on the boat once the engines are dynoed and the gimbals are together.

{NUYCE!!} It's an eastern shore word.

looking good KC

Thanks Ray hope your gang is all good.

Looks nice KC!

Thanks Jason, Taking a bare hull without one wire in it and turning it into a fast boat is a lot more work than I amagined but I have Bob O, my Allstate guy - In that deep voice, "I'm in good hands."

after seeing your last project the bar is set pretty high one this , looks like you are off to a heck of a start .

Yes there will be a bar...
:)
