[rampgirl]

Rampgirl welcome , and if i was you........ i would go with one bad ass blender .

Thanks Ginger! I hate the green so was thinking along the lines of candy apple red and a little chrome.

[Ratickle]

okay no laughing...but here is my winter project.
Attachment 75127

Haven't decided if I wanna make it a bad ass blender or just a historical 1959 restore. It's a 5.9 horse Mercury Silent six. Given to me by a buddy. Had compression the day I got it.

As a blender, it'd make really big Margaritas.......

[old377guy]

I like it!

[Ratickle]

Big Margaritas??????

[Bobcat]

[Ratickle]

Lookin good...


But since when is talking about making a giant margarita maker for summer not a winter time project?????

[TUCK646]

Holy Toyshop, Batman! What are those blower motors going in?

We were drooling the same thing, Hell of a inventory yowza!!!!!!!

[TUCK646]

Are you looking for a barrel Back , and have you given much thought on building one from scratch maybe .................................something from Glen-L ?

Power of suggestion , im gonna look at Glen-l (now) more than likely it would take an old Gar Wood basket case to motivate me.
Gotta do a 60' SF first (GLASS) A 50' CARY 2nd, 33' Donzi CBOW,A 35' Mistress (ALL DIESELS), Maybe a 1968 42' Breuil Enterprise SF in the middle.
I gotta get busy!!

Okay so not to distract anyone with giant margarita talk anymore...even though I think my job should come with an open bar sometimes... here is our winter project.

To give a little photo montague of how it looked a few years back when we bought it to how it has changed over the years...

This is how it looked when we got it...


Then a couple years ago we got a sponsor named Lenmar and they painted it and powder coated the roll cage and hardware and the trailer too. (note to self- never let a sponsor rename your boat or paint their logo on it...decals only)


And finally this is what it looks like today....we hope the airbrushing can get finished then the clear coat so we can pick her up on Sunday. Still have to get the cowboy skull painted on the capsule lid and have the cowling painted since we had lost the original cowling this summer in the bay of San Diego.



We get the motors back in two weeks~ they spent the winter in California getting pampered for race season!

[old377guy]

Good stuff RG, show us the motor when it gets back.

[Bobcat]

That first pic rocks !

[TUCK646]

Looks good so far , like the green flames,money on fire in the water
