Thanks guys. Yup, Wall-E is all grown up now. I'm so proud....

With luck this project is coming to a close other than some misc. Setup/tuning with help from Tommy and Josh.
My son and I are really looking forward getting after that Sanger he picked up. He's been buffing and polishing and really has it looking good.

That's just SWEET looking!

john, that boat is beautiful! 

Thanks guys.  It just doesn't get any better than this.  

Hanging out with my son in the driveway wrenching on boats............... so damn cool!!!!




Well, maybe is does get better..   3 generations of Rork's wrenching on boats.  NOW IT DON"T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT!!!!!



Please ignore the mess in my boat.  I've been thrashing to get it together.    

Glenn, there is no place better when the sun is out but damn, I wish it showed up more often.  Fired off the sprinkler system today and found that it had froze and broke (again) even though I winterized it.  So much for having it "professionally" installed.  Now there's one more thing in the way of my boating....

Now back on topic,  I picked up some used Borla upswepts SS headers that had been coated but needed some TLC.  Scotchbrited them, followed by wetsanding with 2000 grit and then some Mothers polish and they turned out pretty damn good iff'n I do say so myself!!!  (Please excuse the mess, it's been a bit of a thrash)






These are the big cans that quiet the idle way down (the noise cops are clamping down up here) but bark like a mutha when you stand on it.  The look is not for everybody but I think they are okay for the boat.  May need a chiller sooner rather than later if for no other reason than get the proportions correct. 

     

John I'm guessin the DL worked ? Boats looking sweet Very nice work !

Holy crap John! That thing is freakin' beautiful! If you ever feel the need to redo my Hallett, let me know, I'll happily tow it up there for ya! 

Great job, great job on the UFO too, that is a neat old boat.

John do you know who makes that scoop you have? And do you know if they make one for a single carb set up? I really like the way that thing looks.

Speedway Motors makes them.  They can  be used with a single or double setup by just using both or one of the carb adapters.

your boat is just baddddasssss, keep up the awesome work on it, any ideas as to when it will get wet again?

Thanks very much.  I would expect I'll fire it in the next week or so.  Gonna be a while before it's wet as it's still pretty cold and gloomy up here.  Once in a while we have a nice day this time of year but not very often and NEVER when I have the time off from work.....

SEXY TIME 

Looks GREAT. Better get used to that polishing thing, I get MOTHERS in five gallon buckets now. The Meguires seams to give it that high luster tho.
