Well I finely finished the 402. There were a couple of small problems when we water tested it. Had one water leak ( some one for got to tighten the water temp sending capillary nut ) easy fix though. The other was a oil leak around the front of the pan, so I pulled the motor back out and put a new pan gasket and some remodeling to the pan. Should be good to go.

Here are a couple shots of it on the water.

Some of the hardware instaled and the pump and cav plates.

Clear Coat is on and she is all done. Now it goes back to Richards house for some wood dowels to plug all the holes in the stringers that we won't be needing, and then it goes to advantage boats in Havasu to get the inside gel coated.

Fade on the deck stripe completed.





The finished product.

Looking good one more stipe and some cool little fade effects after this.

Laying out for the yellow with tangerine fade.



All taped up and ready for the yellow



Yellow is on.

Blue is on.

 I will be there boat or no boat.

I will have to admit it was a great weekend and I had a blast. Gary and I were no competition for Lance and Jim but we gave it a hell of a try.

Yes the first heat was a disaster due to to the failure of the officials to inform us that we were doing a clock start. But once we got together with them
they worked with us to do flag starts and we were of to the races.

Tony you might want to edit your post MY seat is the one that broke not Gary's.

And just for your guy's information my name is LOUIS not Lewis.
