Thanks, I really don't want to sell it.  But momma wants a pontoon and I really want to build a pickle fork tunnel (TPR or Cheyenne).

For trades, I would consider 68-72 Nova, 67-73 Camaro,  64-70 Mustang,  Jeep wrangler,  or rifles and pistols.  Maybe a camper that would fit half ton short bed 05 Ram pickup.

No longer for sale.  I'm just going to keep fixing it up and save up for a pontoon next year.  Once I get the pontoon, I'm going to go hog wild on the pump and motor on this one!

I've been watching this but the description basically says it needs paint, interior, and some rigging. More detailed pics (of the good and bad) would be helpful to help decide if another project is worth the price.

Here's a few more pics.
Title: Re: 1987 Baker Tunnel
Post by: stc315 on April 08, 2015, 10:29:15 AM
The previous batch of pics were from August 2013 right after I shot clear on it.  I figured out after I shot it that I had the air pressure too low, so I ended up with bad orange peel effect on the finish.  It could be sanded down and re-cleared and it wouldn't look too bad.  But you can see how the blues in the original gel got sun burnt over the years (previous owner left it out in the Arizona sun without a cover for way too long.  I've kept it covered since I bought it which is what has saved the interior somewhat.  It still has a lot of areas that are cracking and fading.  I also removed this huge dome that was covering the top of the engine.  The pics of the bottom are from a couple of weeks ago, you can see it in the pics but I have three screw tips sticking out of the bottom (about a 1/4" too long of screws for the bilge pump).  The pic of the engine is from 2013 when I cleared it.  I will go out there later this afternoon and take some fresh pics and see if I can figure out how to load a video of it running.  After sitting all winter long, all I had to do is charge the batteries and wait for the fuel pump to prime and she fired right up first try with only two pumps of the throttle.

Thanks, I was in more of a financial bind then plus I put a new fuel pump and fuel lines last summer after I originally posted it for sale.  But if I come across a Nova I want, I may accept a lower offer.  I will likely take it out on Memorial weekend.  I get a lot of calls on it, but nobody has made the trip over to look at it.

Forged steel crank and I have to check the chamber that those pistons need i don't have the spec. sheet with me now. Clarkes Machine shop gave me the cc chamber I needed to get the high compression but I don't remember off the top of my head. I'm building a boat that this was going to go in but I ran into a couple snags so I won't be using it this year and I need a float to get me through the summer.
