Today was a good. Went to work and got caught up for a few hours today and then came home and hooked up the 0 feedback hydralic steering. It works great and very positive. I ran the plastic tubing through electrical conduit and bled it out. I added the STBD, control lever ball. The parts house went the wrong one. My son Jordan turned the wheel to move the fluid for me. I'm building the engine dollys at the shop now, I'm hoping to start the engines in the next couple weeks.

Seeings how we are getting so much rain here in Veneta the lake is full in January and I'm not making a lot of headway on "My Mistress" and have been spending more time with the puppies!
Had a big week this week, I'm now owner of a sheetmetal shop in Springfield can manufature any thing for you, just contact me. all of the SS work on my boat was done by Mid Valley Metals.

Got a lot of work done today. I finished up the bulge deck that included the battery boxes, the raw water plumbing to the engines, the control levers, man it took for ever to get them from the chromer, he did the throttle levers twice to get them right.
I designed the throttle off set for the carb today, I'll take it to my shop and have the laser cut them for me, remember the throw of the cable is 3" you need to  off set the linkage connection point.

Engines getting closer

What do you think a bout my engine electrical distribution box's. They are stailess steel and made for my boat. I designed them and made them. It makes a sanitary way to put all wiring in.
I have the programs  and can make some for your chev engine.

Bulge Floor

I started building the bulge floors. I ran out of wood and today is new years day. So I'm taking inventory on what brass fittings I nee to complete the raw water intake.
I'm ready to take the engines off the stands and put them onto there dolly's and run the cams in. Installation is around the corner.
