Thanks man. I've been meaning to call that Juan guy in havasu. It's cool to hear somebody recommend him. Lol makes him worth calling I guess.

And question about the powdercoat how does powdercoat look like chrome? Nothin against powdercoat, cause I think powdercoat is badazz. But just curious.

most of the people in our hood use Juan

Don't know anything about them but might be closer to you.

this is him i guess i should have read the whole post 

very nice work

Only had to look thru 4 yrs. worth of Hot Boat, but I found it.
Feb, of 05 had that pic and article.

the guy I bought the truck from use to write for Hot Boat and Off Road Mag.

this truck has been the coolest so far cant wait to have it all back again

one leg is still kinda messed up and I couldnt ever find a buyer so guess Ill keep it for a while

From the pics, the gel looks pretty good Got some oxidation going on

the gel is decent but is faded in some spots

not sure just yet at least new top end and rebuild nothing to crazy

thanks Gil nice to meet you too. Tell Mark my phone finally took a shit from the water. I should have a new one tomorrow.

thanks Skipper, it looks like it may be sold.... I sure hope so I have my eye on a nice jet 

Hahaha.  82daytona sent me the link to it.  I had to laugh.  He is not far off from what I had invested in that damn thing though.  I do think he re did the lower end on it because I had a 496 in it with the same heads.

so WTF buy it back 

thanks for all the kind words guys  Ill admit I bit off more than I can chew with this project money wise. I could have built a house for what I have into this thing. Its taking longer than expected but I wont give up till its done. Im trying to use a lot of the parts I already had to get done sooner. I still have no completion date due to parts still needed.
