Does anyone know anything about the 1970 Hemi Cuda at Pier 57? Original, restored, recreation? http://pier57.com/1970HemiCudaRed.htm

Top Gear is awesome. The like to put various vehicles against each other. My fav was a Ferrari Daytona vs XSR 48. http://www.streetfire.net/video/top-gear-ferrari-daytona-vs-xsr-48_202939.htm What ever boat they are using, someone should show up in a high HP cat ands blow them away. What is...

They dont take cats. Do they flush the engines, wipe the engines, and spray down the drives? When they opened they were asking top $$$ for the spots, they're selling now for about 1/3 of that now but still have pretty high maintanence costs. It is a nice system. 2 more computer controlled...

Yup. I had the "premium package" or whatever, where they were supposed to hoses and wipe down the hull and flush the engines when they pulled it out. They barely hosed it off and I doubt they ever actually flushed it when i didnt stick around a specifically ask for it. It was usually busy so...

Stellings makes them, I hav a set. I sent them my CMI headers to make the jig.

line up the rack so the boat sits flat on the strakes. You do not want part of the step hanging off the back.

Thanks Ryan. I thought the standard Jack plates were spec. The option of a bracket like that or custom one allows me to change my design for the better.

Is the engine mount on #5 legal in OSS/SBI?

NHTSA Regulations. There is a difference between knowing the forces, and proving that the design works. Car companies also speed millions on CFD before building a prototype and millions on wind tunnel testing before creating the final design. Solids are also better understood then fluids...

Of course the complete project will not be easy. I was wondering why they, or someone supposedly connected to this project, considered tank testing and then opted against it. Tank testing is not the be all end all, but it can provide a lot of good data for a lot less money then prototyping...

Smith & Wesson M&P40c or 9c. Great gun. Also try on a bunch of holsters to see which secure the firearm best, fit best, are most comfortable, easy to draw from and conceal properly. Add a good gun belt to hold it properly.

Weight, inertia, water pressure can be scaled. Accelerations in waves are tested all the time. A model and be built and tested to test the accelerations on the canopy from various angles. Phots from various angles can determine the interaction and a 6 axis force gauge can get you all the...

What ever happened with the idea of testing at Stevens?

http://www.abycinc.org/educationprograms/comp_boatbuilder.cfm http://www.landingschool.edu/Composites.html There are many composite classes for the hobbiest to professional certifications. Here are 2 that specialize in marine.

So who actually owns the molds now? Who designed the steps?
