way too much work, i'm lucky my dad does most of the work on the plates. cuz it's a BITCH

I hope you have made some final paterns of the plates. Those are worth some cash even if they don't have a Liberty, they would be very close and the botoms could be adjusted. The hard part is all the hole and shape.

Good Job !

working with him has its ups and downs, that being said, his health is not what it used to be just a few months ago. so i enjoy what we do together a little more now days. this will probably be the last boat we do together so it will be with me for a long time

« **Reply #95 on:** January 21, 2008, 02:43:53 PM »

WOW!

Ralph, your Pops is a stud!!!! That looks fanphuckintastic!!!! I'd be thrilled if mine turn out a quarter as good as what you and your Pops have done.

« **Reply #96 on:** March 09, 2008, 05:59:06 PM »

now that all the racing is done we got back on the liberty project. finished up putting the new cam in and removing inner valve springs for break in. then painted it up, it sure isn't the color i thought is was going to be. i want to paint it a darker color but, the wife likes it so we'll just have to wait and see.

« **Reply #97 on:** March 09, 2008, 07:58:28 PM »

Looking good Ralph. Glad to see Brunt Racing was open for business and gettin chit done.

« **Reply #98 on:** March 15, 2008, 07:54:40 PM »

a little progress today

installed new helm and all new cables

« **Reply #99 on:** March 16, 2008, 09:43:47 AM »

Projects looking gooooood

By the way your paint looks like the old Chevy Blue

He he...........
And i keep looking at the stringers, they are just phucking gorgouse ( SP ) If mine looked that purdy i wouldnt even think of carpet, i would flowcoat it.

I can only assume , you will be bringing it to Parker? Looking forward to meeting you and your family and checking out the Liberty.........
