Funds Brave restore thread

Kinda nice to have a new tank for the new engines. Seems to make sense. No sense connecting brand new power to a corroding, leaking sieve.

4 Becks Beers and 250 pounds of brute force. There is a size 13 shoe print on that sumbinch. I promise you.

No mortal gas tank dares mess with THE FUND!!!! The last gas tank that tried to give Fundy a hard time.... well lets just say it was kicked to the curb, in pieces!

And I will always have my angle grinder man costume.

And about 7 or 8 4.5 inch russian angle grinder wheels. uke:

 

[phragle]

those russian wheels are cheaper if you buy them buy the gross........ If you buy 5 gross, they will include a miniature chinese vacum to hook to your angle grinder...... that one was my bad.......

Who knew? They were like 8 bucks. The ability to joke about it is worth more than that.

Bob Vila of offshore here.

Finally had a chance to fit the tank today. The tank is actually bigger than the hole (on purpose). That was a close one.
Some ship in a bottle chit going on there, my friend.

You need to trim the trees.

Just kidding buddy, congrats on getting her in.
Are you still hoping to get her wet this season?
Is it realistic on time and $$?

You need to trim the trees.

I moved it to a secluded spot because the neighbors kept seeing me in goggles, respirator and rubber gloves and thought I was running a meth lab. No... actually I backed it until it wasn't under the taller trees.

Multi-Tasking. And provide income for boat projects.
Nice!:sifone:

Big Shout out to Atlantic Coastal Welding for the perfect job on the tank. Lots of specs, and 100% dead on. Nice people too. And fast.

Fund what about the engines ? I am ready for them....

Hi Brian.

Amazing how time flies. Is it mid-september already?
They aren't done. Beginning to look like next year.
The dyno cell looks good. I'll bet you have been having almost as much fun as running your boat.

Decided to reset the finish line for 2010.

Me too. I worked with John Gallo, he was great. They had no problem with my "special" requests. It's a great tank. I am more than pleased with it, and it needed to be exactly what I ordered to the fraction of the inch. There was zero room for error, and there were zero errors. It was fast too.

I need to decide about paint. I was going with the old colors (Red, Blue and stainless) but now I don't know.

I saw Geronimo's and wondered if a different color would be better. Stainless exhaust tips and stainless valve covers. The red was a little darker than the red on the boat. The interior is all white. Bilge is white.

Intakes and block were blue. Exhaust manifolds were red.

I'd pick one main color for everything large. Then have vinyl printed to match the boat design swooshes and colors as an add-on....

In your boats case, probably the darkest reddish color on the boat with the teal swooshes.

 

[fund razor]

vinyl?

 

[fund razor]

really?
