Like this one, that I still have. I'm willing to loan it to a responsible party for copying purposes if there's interest.  ???  I'd love to have a copy and an original.   :-\

Yes I am sure. I thought I paid either $150 or $250 for it, but my friend Marc said I paid $300 for it. Rumor control says that this scoop is the laughing stock of this website, apparently Roger Weiman has great eyes for boats but not carb scoops.  ???  I dig it and apparently it's not going anywhere anytime soon. It must be worth it's weight in Gold to me, as that's about all I would trade it for.

Marc wants me to try and make a metal copy as I don't own a tig welder for aluminum. Personaly I don't think a metal carb scoop will sell, what do you folks think about a metal carb scoop, sellable?

I would like to have one, just for the fact that it was original equipment on Roger's hulls. I wouldn't put it on anything else. I plan on making a polished aluminum one for the duel quad set up. My brother-in-law has a waterjet machine and a tig welder, with his help it shouldn't be to tough. Check out the scoop on the brochure.

 Trailer goes in for paint this week. I've been working on it off and on for the last 3 weeks, where does the time go. Welded in all the old holes and a couple of places on the crossmembers. Cut in for oval tail lights, had round bolt ons, and redrilled for new led running lights. Sanded down to bare metal around the outside rails and got most of the rust from the inside of the rails. Supposed to be sunny for awhile, so I'll try to sand the bottom of the rails before it goes in on wed.

I thought I would throw a little teaser out there with the Raspberry in the shot. In the far background is our 20' Advantage and in the backyard is a 1980 18' Challenger. We have more projects than time or money.

Thanks guys, it came out better than I expected. The coupler will go out for chrome, thats overspray. I told him not to worry about it besides it is pretty rusted. In the second pic you can see the gold pearl on the rail. Brad that tractor is 30 years old. My father in law just bought a new one, so he retired his old one to us. It worked great for picking up the front of the trailer, but I chained up the back of the trailer to the bucket and got it about 2 feet in the air when the trailer started swinging and I had to drop it real quick so I wouldn't turn the tractor over. Its to light for some of that stuff.

My father has a tractor about that size and he rigged up a 55gal barrel filled with concrete to the lifting arms in the rear.  He can put it on the ground or lift it for extra leverage.

A qoute, through an email, from wizard - wizard612 I think.

"19 Rodgers wanted to know what kind of carb box would be period correct for his dual quad motor on his Bonnteville.  Jeff Bennett and I built the plug, mold and part for a carb box sim in shape to what procomp hoods used in the 70's"

... and the pic he sent...
