Thanks ... I have been working on the interior for quite some time now I will have to get updated Pic's to show.   but to be Honest This whole Project started as a new clear coat Project  Now here we are
but a year and a half later over-budget I am starting to see the lite.  I started to notice a bit of oil  then allot  then not so much oil pressure so you know the rest of the story.  but I tell ya what if it wasn't for this
forum and A LOT of searching craigslist list in the Cali / Vegas area I would have never been able to get this as far as I have . I live about 1hour north east of Detroit and I could not find any parts anywhere especially for the 460 , like engine mount headers etc..    Thanks for the Props on the man cave It was the last BIG project on the house The nag said I coud do the garrage last  .... 6 years later I was able to get going on it.

 and yes the scoop is going on .. I have been trying to buy that off this guy here for almost 2 years I found his boat for sale  on craigs list here locally looinkg for parts  I seen it up for sale with the option to buy other
parst   well that scoop was one of them  BUT he would not sell it untill the boat was sold and give the buyer a chance to buy it first.. so a year later this winter I seen it go up yet again I e-maild him but he still would not
let it go .. he sold the boat 2weeks later and thankfully E-maild me to say the guy diddnt want it  :screwy:  so I went and picked it up with the tray for 100 bones !! I love it (very Very well built) and Light !  my buddy that's been helping me says it Ugly as sin   :screwy:

Sorry for the novel but spring fever has hit me square between the eyes  I am ready to get going on this thing   ((( hard to find much Info on this Python))) but I was told It was built just like an Eliminator in the same year which I have seen and they look Identical   I am just curious has anyone else seen these out there or know anything about them ??

Looks like you are getting close to putting water under your boat.

Keep plugging away, you'll get their.
