Title: 20' spectra project
Post by: lilrick on November 28, 2007, 02:20:44 PM
This tub has kicked my bass for almost 2 years!!! I bought it as a basket case. The previous owner had blown up the engine. It needed trailer work, a new engine, tranny, and the fiberglass tanks were DONE!! I had to cut out the glass tanks and throw in some aluminum tanks.

your pics are too big.

one of the nifty things that are on my list of things to do is add a function that sizes your pictures for you when you attach them....no more scrolling to the right to see the rest of the picture.

I do need that stuff and front cover! But unfortunately I need Ford stuff, the Chevy won't fit with the short snout  :(

Post by: HDriderTH on November 29, 2007, 05:47:01 PM
I hear Moonyham handles the ford stuff, Dyers may also. I hear they get their ford manifolds from Moonyham The cover i have is stock GMC for what ever snout you put on it. Sorry to jack the thread lilrick.

Post by: lilrick on November 30, 2007, 03:18:09 AM
That's three...And I don't mind. ;D That is an electric cav plate motor,and the v-drive is an ACE Champion.
