Gt-12

[gwaii]

I know, but it seems like it would look right in the GT. IDK.

Boat looks good though, nice and clean, and the motors look really good for their age

i just fixed up the 20h in the fall,i have all the new decals for the 115 but still have to do the tear-down and paint routine on it.that'll happen soon enough.i actually just ordered up some vinyl to re-do the interior upholstery tonight.it'll be blue,black,and white to match the motors.

just what i need....more projects.

well,i found a kicker for it.....needs a little paint and polish,but it runs.it's a '78 20 horse,nice match to the 115.traded it for an 80's mariner 15hp-we both came out happy.

here's what the 20 looked like when i got it.sure makes me want to get onto the big'un soon.

it's sorta like that.it's a 15' fiberglass runabout with a 351w (slight mods)to push it around.should go pretty good.

and jacking threads is one of my specialties....may as well jack my own

 

[gwaii]

had just enough light left to get some pics...

this is the hot rod.351w,edelbrock performer rpm cam and intake,650 holley,gt40 heads.

it runs through an omc cobra leg.it's actually nicely balanced.

i also have this thing....it's a 14',70hp merc.

that's why i get pissy with people that say they can't do something because they don't have a fully equipped shop.

the ranger i built in my driveway.in the rain.froze my butt off.

still did it.





ok,rant over

my excuse usually is that i don't have a fully equipped brain...

or i'm lazy, don't have the tools, or it's cold in my garage....

Did you travel to school in the snow & sleet uphill...both ways? Was this also before or after you completely fed your family of 9 while working as a paperboy after school?

Yea, I still get my work done in a driveway or apartment's parking lot. It's just more convenient in a shop with a lift.

"No accessible shop" is an excuse that shows laziness, IMO. If you want to learn about something, you'll find a way.

I know it's nothing compared to the epicness that is gwaii, but I channeled him a bit with my truck. I completely rebuilt my suspension in front of my garage because there was no room for a truck inside it.

if you look closely enough at the pics from when i was building the ranger in the driveway,you may notice the garage in front of it.....that i couldn't get into because it was filled with junk.

 

[kris97ranger]

i just redid the entire suspension in my samurai in front of the garage lol i redid almost everything to get my rager on the road in the same spot. i pretty much only ever used the shop for when i had to do exhaust or radius arm bushings

 

[COPPERHEAD85]

The only time my 85 has seen a shop was to put the body lift on.
Only time it was ever in a shop.
Trans was put in in the dirt (still with the V6).
4" lift was put in in the dirt.
V6 was pulled with a tree and the 302 was put in with the same tree.
It was painted out side.
I actually like the light better outside.

The 81 F100 is my baby............The 357 was put in it in a nice shop.

The storage unit i'm building the 93 in could best be described as a pile. Its got a roof but no light or power, and i signed a legal document saying i would not store any hazmat in it....

 

[gwaii]

i signed a legal document saying i would not store any hazmat in it....

then you'd better not spend too much time in there....might be in contravention


sorry

 

[CHKNFKR]

Don't worry, i know the guy that owns the storage facility. We have a verbal agreement. The written agreement is for insurance purposes, he lost a building to a fire a few years back.

I don't store any flamable vapors there and all hazmat has sufficient primary and secondary containment. Spills are immediately contained and cleaned. While i'm there i always have a fire extinguisher handy and when i leave i remove all ignition sources.
