The photos I posted were shot by Ted Sutton when he was visiting with Bill Denbeste. I just pulled them from Teds camera to post here.

Below is a link that will give more insight to the Denbeste orginazation.

That would be the owner of the boat, Stevie. I think he just woke up.

Tony was giving Stevie a lesson by showing what the boat could do and how much plate he needed for launch. Stevie had recently purchased this boat when the photo was taken.

Exactly how I would look riding in mine, I suck as a passenger.

Did he get rid of Problem Child or does he have both now?

Eddy sold Problem Child to the owner of Sundance. I hope they run it this year!

A friend bought the Coors boat and plans on bringing it down to Parker for the Outlaw Nationals.

I figured you would like it.
I had a friend way back when that flew one of the two Coors Light Jets. She was an exceptional pilot.

Here's the boat one more time and if you want to see it again you'll need to show up at Sundance. That is unless he needs to do a test and tune and brings it the the Manor first.

 

[cofooter]

I'm going to try to be here then!

Slakin? I'm watching Gail as she stands on the bow of your boat waiting for the dancing to start.

Long thread, but I'll answer the original question. Is it light out?

Yeah the thread is kinda long and can only get longer as we wait for Steven to get his boat back on the water.

This toon reminded me of a Monarch. I wish I had gotten a pic of it straight on but I was too busy admiring it.

 

[Carlson-jet]

Beautiful restoration on the Early model Monarch 10EE.

 

[RichL]

Wheeler... Obviously I don't know you, but I want to know if I can just give a "blanket" like to all your pics instead of each one individually?

Lathe porn right there.

Hell, even the Hardinge chucker in the background is pretty cool.

There's a photo a few pages back that you'll really like! You'll know it when you see it.

Thanks for the compliment.

True. That said, one is what is put out on the floor for the masses to use and the other is used in the tool room.
My 10EE just celebrated it's 75th Birthday.

75th didn't happen without pics.

I grew up in my parents machine shop. First lathe I ever ran was a Hardinge chucker, simple second op stuff at 50 cents an hour. I was probably 11 years old. Later in life, met my first 10EE at a big defense contractor's tool room, had to be 15 of them lined up in a row.

Love the blown Howard day cruiser!

Reminds me of the blown BBC dad had George Stregal build in late 70s for our blue and white Spectra daycruiser and used for ski racing at Arrowhead.
