From reading your posts, it seems that you will beat CJ to the lake afterall. Well done!!!!

It isn't done just yet . But I am not really worried about being on the water before CJ . Hopefully he will get his boat finished in time to make it to RTC . I started this boat as a low budget build and didn't plan on being in a hurry to get it done . I have spent a lot more than I originally planned to spend , and done a lot more than I expected to do to it . At this point I am just happy to be close to the end of the his build .

It's a great feeling to be sitting on the lake in your project, with a cold brew in your hand.....

Hope to see your project at Tawak this year.

The motors back in again  jump.gif Still got a lot to do before I put it in the water , but mostly little piddly stuff . I think the little things have to be the most expensive part of putting together a boat . All the little last minute items add up fast  :smile13: :smile13:

Amen brother... I tell people all the time I have a $5k boat that cost me $18k to build.

Randal just dropped off a few little parts to finish up getting the boat for water testing  bling.gif bling.gif jump.gif jump.gif We will be at the lake next Sunday  jump.gif Now just got to figure out which lake to go to  think.gif

Damn Shannon.  Post up some pictures.  How many times we gotta tell ya.  LOL.

I have tons of pics I need to put up , but have been too busy with getting stuff done on the boat . I did end up doing a different setup on the motor mounts at the last minute . I have half of a four point , and the front half of a rail kit . Trying to decide on a few mounting locations for fuel pump and diverter pump now . Then get a little final assembly stuff done . I am not doing anything but finishing the boat for the next two days , it should be 100% by Monday night .

We'll have a bunch of boats on the water Wednesday night at Lavon. Great time for a lake test.

I would have to start driving on Tuesday to be able to male that one  think.gif

 

[blazeracer]

Sooooo, is this thing running?

 

[spd500]

Not 100%,yet . But almost .

 

[blazeracer]

Did this thing get lake tested this weekend?

 

[spd500]

No . I can't seem to come up with a place to mount all the damn coils that will work with the headers , starter , and dipstick . I can't  really lake test with them hanging by the wires . I am back on it this morning . I am considering a stringer mount for them .

 

[77Jet Star]

Don't think he made it.He was over helping CJ put the cap back on the Chrysler project.LOL    :smile26:

 

[spd500]

Anyone know where to get longer wires for an LS ? All the ones I have found are for regular setups with a dizzy .

 

[blazeracer]

I welded tabs on the stock brackets and attached them to the motor mounts. They are out of the way of everything.

 

[spd500]

You got any other pics of that ? Maybe a better angle ? Kinda hard to see at that angle .
