Is that the hot rod hydro by revel?

Yes it was the hydro. I made the pump using a eye dropper and round plastic stock. The trailer was a single axel before I added the tandem. When I am done it will be all wired and plumb like a jet boat. If you look closely at this F-85 you will see the fireing order is correct.

Not to be too critical because it is all very cool, but I'd look into removing the transmission from the boat. I think by leaving the flange in place and using a piece of flat stock you could make it look like a flywheel cover, then make a driveshaft to go to the set back pump.
I'm loving the whole diorama, the C10 is very cool and I like the Nova in the back.
-
No that motor is just a donor here is the motor mounts and I like the idea about the driveshaft. I'm still trying to figure out what I am going to use for the intake under the boat. Right now I'm building a bbc to put in. Not sure if I'm going withe a tunnel ram or blower😃😃

This hobby started because of my son. I came home everyday and he was glue to Xbox. So wanted him to know more than just the tv. Then I went out and bought are first model car because thought he should understand the Basics on how to build a car. He loved it.

I built many models as a kid and a few more before my daughter was born, but haven't done any in many years. I know I have several pieces for a resin bodied altered I was planning but never got back to.
-
very cool stuff!, i too as a kid put lots of models together.

I built a visible v8 engine with my dad when I was eight or nine and I'm going to do the same with my kids. Good way to get them interested and to understand how an engine works

That wagon looks killer!

While I was out for surgery I built one of the boats, I just stuck with the original motor and the v-drive but I painted it to match my boat, I also built a truck that matched mine.

Yeah it had been a while for me as well but I needed something to keep me occupied while I was out of commission.
