hey guys. spring is coming and this top gun project is making some headway. Will have pics tomorrow of it in clear.
Really need to build a booth this summer. got too much work going on running out of room. Busy is good so I can't complain!
got a set of rebuilt 3's. sand blasted and re painted the drives and gimbals ready to bolt up. All of the engine plates, blocks, bell housings etc are paint matched to the blue on the side of the boat.
The owner of the boat is a retired NYS trooper, so we thought the "thin blue line" was a nice touch so we are bringing blue accents through out.
heres some pics to keep people interested. Goal to be done is first of may.

heres a couple pics. it was snowy and dreary when it was picked up so no outside pics. whole boat is Ice white, the bottom of the the silver stripe is blue ice, and the pantera logos are ghosted in with a red pearl and darkened edges. its very cool to see in person. I think this boat is getting big engines. In Ohio
