You know it's a fine line you are walking to keep it how Carl would have and what you and the Mrs. prefer. Whatever blend you finish with I'm sure he's looking down smiling...and partly because it's actually getting done.[emoji106]

Took this back in mid January, never realizing its double meaning to me.

Brian, when Hallett Dave redid his boat (think it's a '78) he had the original root beer brown gel redone and installed brown/orange shag carpet.

It's way cool...

 

[Flyinbowtie]

Very happy for you Brian, that boat couldn't be in better hands. Another family, more kids growing up in that boat is exactly what he would have wanted.

I appreciate the vote of confidence. I will do my best sir.

I hope so, I will do her proud.

 

[waterhorse]

Boats like this that have history are just over the top cool. You can't beat a time machine.:thumbsup
Looking forward to seeing her on the water.

Yea, backing up an incline with surge brakes is a challenge and I have to figure something out to defeat that. I just pulled the pin and managed.

This is what I did. It just keeps the tongue from telescoping.

Yes I will definitely need to do something like you did. I am getting a replacement shock like you suggested also.

[wsuwrhr]

Tanks are done. I am making bungs and fittings today and then welding them in and fitting the tanks.

The shop has been picking up and I am trying to keep up with everything. I've been running all three machines for a couple weeks now.

Brian

 

[wsuwrhr]

These are the peeps who make it happen.

Here at SBP, every piece of stock has a chance at greatness.

We are an equal opportunity shop.

Isn't this the type of stuff you do. You know the machines that turn raw material into a part or two ?????[emoji41]

Hardly nice work :thumbup:

Shit, I can do al that in my garage with a cordless drill, jig saw and belt sander.

 

[wsuwrhr]

Lathe is stacked for the next week. I have 120 supercharger pulleys to turn and drill for Friday delivery. I bid a 3 in thick 24 in long 8 in wide steel part that needs a bunch of milling done to it. Going to be a busy week. I am hoping to take the weekend off to install the tanks, change the fluids, prime and fire this girl up.

 

[Willie B]

... Before you fire it don't forget to...,oh shit I just ran out of ink...

 

[Sawtooth]

Wow tank parts are looking great Brian, way to get after it, Carl would be totally jazzed you are making it happen and headed back to the water with the 'ol girl. :thumbsup

 

[Runs2rch]

Hardly nice work :thumbup:

It was an inside joke. Azgeo said we are all a bunch of shadetree jackoffs. Brian knows ole Azgeo......

I got the joke.

I knew you would!

Great work as always. :thumbup:

 

[SBMech]

Looking great man, can't wait for you to get her out and strech her legs.

I am sure CC is very happy that you are her new love, treating her right for sure :thumbsup

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

It looks like you have been not drinking enough beer.

Haha, got that joke too.

Yep, went over there Saturday with Lebel409 for a bit, but that's it.

Been busy otherwise.

My apologies if I missed it, but how are you fabricating the pick up tube?

 

[wsuwrhr]

Easy job, pressed in and stitch welded a tube into an AN fitting. I got a machinist that handles that shit for me.

 

[wsuwrhr]

Dual tank, single gauge setup is foreign to me. I was planning on installing a balance tube, but I was well informed that CG does not allow gravity feed in tanks.

So I am going to install a second gauge I guess. I don't see another solution.

Brian

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Just put a switch on the signal wire to the fuel level gauge and run 2 signal wires, one to each pickup. Just have to make sure you are watching the tank you are currently running.

You don't need a second gauge, just a sending unit in each tank and a selector switch that operates both the gauge and selector valve.
