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.

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

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.
