Scotty, put your boat here...

Sean don't tempt me with that plane ticket thing b/c I am almost crazy enuff to take you up on that !! You think Schiada would hire a gopher for the daytime while I work on yours at night.. lol..

I will try to give you a shout tonite if Its not too late b/c I know when you get your age you probably go to bed at sunset..:D
 
Ok again nothing life changing but progress at the least..

I have 2 of these brand new Optima 1000's & along with the :rolleyes:bilng-bling:rolleyes: freshly redneck reingeneered(sp? -c'mon its late) from superman blue to shiny-classy-matchy holdowns that are pretty much ready to start mounting sometime tomorrow when I get a little spare time between the day to day..

I was getting to a point of over thinking (as I often) do & I was beginning to start questioning my engine compartment color combo's from individual components all the way to all of it as a whole.. However Its all starting to make sence again as it slowely comes to life..:coolgleamA: I posted a few oldies for a bit more of a visual..

I'm hopping the alignment tool makes it in from the delivery birdie tomorrow !! Man do I have a long list of Thank you's at the end of these scattered threads.. I believe when the day of completion actually arrives I will start a new somewhat more organized thread from start to finish with my long list of not as much rambling but pics. including the a good bit of the original build pics from its Glory Days of old !! Which I hope it honors in its own way !!

Very nice... Fresh from vacation and back in the shop... I never noticed it until know, but I'll be dipped in sh*t if Scotty's boat isn't Wicked Won's "Mini-Me"! :sifone:

I just had a delivery from the postman dropping off the alignment tool I've been needing..;) Now its dirty hands for a little while which is just fine with me..
 
Here you go Sean you can fly into Chattanooga this time... 1hr from me, 1:45ish from Chris & about the same from the ATL crew.. Centrally located for some disasterious bench racing !!
 
+1 Wow. Not even the minority of "custom" boats have that kind of finish. Unbelievable.:USA:

Thanks man !! As I said earlier about Dan's compliment.. I don't take that lightly !! (along with many others, even if some of them may happen to be from the "far left" haha) I goof off around here allot but in all seriousness It's really cool for me to hear that kind of stuff from people who have a clue about whats cool..
 
Taking home the bellhousing , coupler & anything else that may fit in the ragoneer for a good cleanup before getting ready to mount up...

(Klaw) if your out there in lurking around anywhere.. Thanks Again !!
 
Been working a bit at home over the holiday weekend.. I loaded up the motor & hauled it the short trip to start giving the ol'e girl some clothes & dressing her up a bit.. Trying to get ready to put'er'in'da'hole

I have since managed to get a few things bolted on it & will soon give a more recent pic than the one posted that was taken saturday evening.. Also attempt short history lesson on her in the future.. She's kinda a ho.. But in a good way..:biggrinjester:

Scotty, you are sick!!!
The motor looks great!
I'm starting to see where you are pulling all the colors together.
I wasn't questioning it, but I'm no Martha Stewart, but now seeing what you're doing, it's very tasteful, and it's timeless splashes of color. Very classy, and nothing that will date itself or is a fad.
That boat is going to look incredible!!
I commend you on your work.
If you need a week to getaway and vaca, I have a spare room here in AZ - bring your tools, I'll buy the beer:sifone:
 
about to go throw another part'at'er..

On a side note If this thing doesn't break 60 on gps its getting a tripple stack of the big shot !!
