In regards to the cost of the head polishing. I'm not sure yet. I haven't received my final bill with the cost breakdown but when I do I will pm you. My engine builder is Advance Racing Engines out of Downey, CA. His name is Heath Hiebert. On what I'm having done to my boat I completly stripped the interior as well as pulled the motor for them.

Got word that the boat should be coming out of the shop this weekend. Can't wait to pick it up, then it's off to get rigged.  Stopped by the engine shop today and took alook at all my parts coming in. Good news is I will have it in a couple of weeks.

Yeah. I went over there and watched the process. They fill the seam with fiberglass the lay mat over the top of that to seal the top and bottom. The filler is to define it. The other side has way less filler. Picture was taken before sanding was complete. This boat was done the same way and is awesome

Thanks, I can't wait to see the final product. I know the boats gonna look totally different. My biggest investment is the motor. Starting from the ground up. Never owned a Chevy before always fords.

Well I started my project. Its a 1981 Eliminator bubbledeck powered by a Ford 460BBF. I decided it was time for a change so the boats now in the hands of Sal over at Orange County Boat Repair. Sal and his crew are capping the hull, filling in the transom holes, adding a thicker transom plate, filling in gauge holes and making the gunnel brand new. They are also renewing the inside by filling all stringer holes, sanding floor and adding gunnel plates so I can bolt in the new tanks. I also asked for some advice the other from you guys with what you think I should do with the motor. Keep the ford or build a Chevy. I weighed out my options and decided to build a Chevy BB instead. Gave the first installment to the engine builder to get the ball rolling. Boat should be done by December as well as the motor. Hopefully the boat will be getting rigged in January and I can get it back in the water by summer. Here are some pics of what I got so far.

So winters upon us and let the projects begin. My project is a 1981 Eliminator bubbledeck powered by a Ford 460. Boat is currently in the shop getting capped along with transom, gunnel, floor and stringer work. Now here's the hard part. Do I build the ford that I already own or do I start from the ground up and build a Chevy. I have been racking my brain over this for weeks now and I'm looking for a little insight. I'm not a team ford guy or a team Chevy guy either. I'm just looking to build kick ass motor the family will definitely love.
