I concur gc...i dont have the patience or know how to even come close...this is why i sub everything out....nick, brandon, and terry have done alot of my dirty work for me...

« **Reply #251 on:** February 19, 2011, 10:23:08 AM »

Thanks guys, the machining that pat is doing for me is more than I expected, I sent him a shit drawing and he ran with it.
The scoop involved alot of rolling in the slip roll, I've never done compound curves like that before so I'm very happy with it

If you look back you can see I had to holesaw the subfloor so I can through bolt the new rail kit on the stringers. He made plugs for those holes

« **Reply #255 on:** February 21, 2011, 05:12:34 PM »

nice! where you have the flange is that where you plan on welding it up?

« **Reply #259 on:** February 23, 2011, 08:19:18 PM »

duct tape adds mph, especially red

« **Reply #260 on:** February 24, 2011, 05:28:56 AM »

Since you added the red duct tape, I believe that the prudent thing to do is add a drivers capsule.

Lol good call

« **Reply #262 on:** February 24, 2011, 02:17:22 PM »

Looking good with the headers! Loving these ls/lq swaps!

« **Reply #263 on:** February 24, 2011, 02:40:42 PM »

This boat is gonna be bad ass when finished! Good job!

« **Reply #264 on:** February 25, 2011, 09:29:31 AM »

Thanks guys, this winter has been one setback after freakin setback. Last winter the boat work went alot smoother. Hopefully the rest of the build goes smoother

« **Reply #265 on:** February 25, 2011, 07:18:23 PM »

got the headers fit and tacked, and last night i made the end piece for the scoop.
Still gotta buy a carb.
This weekend i am gonna pull the motor out for the final time to bolt the oil pan on, mount the remote oil filter, finish welding the headers, cut the hole for the scoop, mount the ignition box, and start laying out wires and hoses. I'm hoping to fire it up next weekend after a birthday party.
I'm waiting to drill the rail kit cuz i still dont have the GD pto bolts

Man i wish stuff would sometimes just go right

« **Reply #266 on:** February 26, 2011, 10:34:37 PM »

excellent work.

« **Reply #267 on:** February 27, 2011, 09:01:17 AM »

shot of the pan gotta switch to 90 fittings

wish there was a way to move the motor back some.

got the balancer back on. and got a chrome single wire alternator at the big 3 yesterday. Ron the starter and alternator guy thats in parker was there selling them. I had his mini starter and alternator on my old setup.

Somebody buy this thing, Im tired of it

« **Reply #268 on:** February 27, 2011, 09:35:52 AM »

This thing looks great, really coming along. I like the scoop, I think I found one in fiberglass for my ride. keep it up

« **Reply #269 on:** February 27, 2011, 09:41:07 AM »

Yeah do a search for surfer scoop. I know a company called gofastfiberglass makes them

« **Reply #270 on:** February 27, 2011, 01:56:46 PM »

Keep pushin that is coming out so bad ass!!!

« **Reply #271 on:** February 27, 2011, 07:07:48 PM »

Brother, this is one of those threads that will inspire others!

Pat, as always, great support of a fellow boater!

« **Reply #272 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:03:52 PM »

Thanks ray, I still have those headers bro
Figured out the new alternator mount... Ron I need another turnbuckle

« **Reply #273 on:** March 03, 2011, 10:08:52 AM »

finished welding the headers up. i welded the inside of the flanges with ER70S-6 GTAW rod and put about 1/2" tacks on the collectors with it on each tube. Then I tig brazed the outside of the flanges and the collectors with silicon bronze. took a bit to get used to running it again as its been about 5 years. they came out good enough for $150 headers

definately not my best work.

« **Reply #274 on:** March 11, 2011, 07:04:31 PM »

So got the headers fitted on.
Started running my ignition
Brand new 750 shows up on Monday
And finally figured out my oil filter dilemma.

Pat did a badass job on my floor plugs!!!
If you need stuff machined hit him up on here, I'm stoked on they way these came out.

Yes I'm still waiting for f***ing driveshaft bolts.
