Its not like that bro, it's the week before the race. Ive noticed it has been slow around here and we are only talking about the "gathering" and "Race weekend" After that everything will go back to norm for a awhile ;D Atleast in my opinion.....
The Day cruiser is looking good , keep it up and get r done ;D

How badly did he charge you for the upholstery? It looks great! I'll have the wood work done and then need to have the wood covered.

Did that include the foam and sculpting that was required?

I dont know what youre talking about. That is a damn good looking boat! I'm jealous

the nordic finally quit all the drugs, drinking, and cheating and decided to come back home...actually i went and got it from "it's place of storage" and figured i will start tooling around with it again...after my vacation...so im looking for some good 64CC small block aluminum heads, and will be hunting for a pretty nasty cam that will make the boat come alive...all i got right now is talk, but unlike a few here on the board i figured out what i wanted and stuck with it so far even though this boat will take me till retirement to finish...atleast it feels like it will
