Many thanks to Tommy and Josh. The boat looks bitchin.

Too Late Brad........... ;D


Got your PM chief and will post this thread over there............great idea.   I'm thinking most are locking into early October (August and Sept are usually the only good weather months for us up here).

That sucks Tommy.  I hate to think of the day that our dog will  leave us.  My condolences.... :(


I have a habit of always having a toothpick in my mouth......... This was not staged either.  Jan caught her out in the driveway sleeping in the sun (when it showed up for a minute)   I musta dropped one

No crossovers on any of these up here.  Just Borla Upswept Dragster headers.  All stainless and seem to hold up really well (though they are dry).  I gotta admit, I really like them.  They sound fantastic in person!!!

Agree with you GT, those Borlas are unbelievably quiet at idle.  We have a number of blower boats running them up here and at idle it's pretty incredible. They do bark when you stand on it but seem to keep the police at arms length.

There are many that like and many that don't like the looks though.

Damn John,
 250.00. That is crazy. With this JIG I can set up and indicate then mill the keyway all in less than 30 Min.
I figure 50 to 60 bucks to cut the keyway. I will be assembling this thing soon. More pics to follow.
Thanks.
T.J.

I know TJ.  Whatcha gonna do but not go back to the guy?  With my new Obnoxious Racing Engines motor, I hpe to never have to worry about getting taken advantage by "local" guys.  He's a great guy and honest! Not something I can say about my previous machinist......

By the way, when you moving to Washington state??

Proppy, I got nuthin but encouragement. That is a beautiful boat.   FYI, I've been told that an electric fuel pump should be mounted below the fuel level of the tanks if at all possible.  In fact, my new Holley is mounted to the pump plate that Billy cut and has the pump end well below the bottom of the tanks so they tanks "siphon" and don't lose the prime.  I'll try to snap some pics of my project if it would help....  Good luck.........john

The No Wake Zone / Re: Frustration with work (Rant)
« on: March 17, 2009, 09:32:52 PM »
Brad,
Hang in ther Pard, it'll get better. May or may not be at this workplace but it's funny how life has a way of shaking out as long as you stay after it. 
Many have been down this road and if you just keep after it, you'll come out the other side.  Even though I've been at the same company for 30 years, I've seen many changes in my job and company. I've seen layoffs and outsourcing and kept at it. In the end, no matter how bleak it got or how frustrating it got, in the end it it worked out for the better.  Just hang in there and good luck

Think laminate kitchen counters....you know the norm in Washington Kitchens

Paleeeze, we gave up laminate when we couldnt figg'r out how to speill it.  Now purdy much all of us'n use blue tarps and duck tape for r countertops....  Brown tarps look alot like granite 2.....

So damn cool TJ.  That's my balancer as well.  I too panic'd about the seal dealio and measured till I was sick and worried it to death till I measured the stock balancer hub and found that the size was essentially the same.  I then found out like you that they say the different seal if for SBC only.

Keep it up and I love how you designed the locator for the 1/4 key.  Took me awhile to find a machinist that wanted to help me out (and then he charged me $250  :mad:)...   Whatcha gonna do??

Love you work.  Keep it up.......john

unfortunately I have to build them of melamine first, this will provide us with real fit patterns and enable us to create a "CAD" file to allow us to use the water table cutting machine for the permanent aluminum  pieces.
GT

Two things..........what the heck is "melamine"?  And, there will be no water table cutting allowed on this site... ;D


Yes, we (I am) jealous........... :banghead:

Nutz.......  But on a side note, it looks like you're human afterall.  I was figuring that as beautiful as this boat has turned out that you werent cast from the same mold as the rest of us  ;D

Good luck and keep after it.  Still a kick ass boat

hey barry glad you finally made it over ;)

guys barry knows his shit, i talked with him at the long beach race they were pitted next to me and he was pitting for lance  aka nailhead. he built lances motor and its no joke verry respectible power.

No shit Ralph. 

Hey Barry, when we were talking today I was wondering how you knew some of us riffraff from up here in the Great Soggy North were thinking about Parker in October.... Now I know... Welcome to the site.... you'll love it here.  Good folks (well, except for a few of them  ::))

Gents, as Ralph mentioned.  Barry is a hell of a standup good guy.  Won't sell you sumthin you don't need and will help you out on the techy stuff too.  In fact, he's currently building a motor for a certain POS Brendella that I'm confident is gonna be way nicer than the boat it's bolted in. 

Welcome Barry..........john
