If you are in Cartersville , GA I am actually not that far north of you I am located in Athens , TN
The 37 in my Avatar is a car I did for a customer a couple years ago. The pic was taken at the Street Rod Nats. in Louisville. PPG used it in their display. I don't do a whole lot of customer stuff due to the fact that time is always a bit hard for me to find but occasionally I will make exceptions... I just finished a 1 year project on a really nice 69 Z28 for a good friend. We mainly do insurance wrecks at the shop (not my #1 choice) but it feeds the family so... However I somehow always end up with a project of some sort be it a rod , a bike , or an offshore , or a combo... lol...
Are you looking for a new build turn-key car ? , or a previously owned rod ? , Steel or glass ??
The car pictured is a Downs body on a Air-ride TCI chassis
Here is a shot of the 69 Z28 I just finished a few weeks ago (not the best pic & lighting it was taken from my phone) & also a shot of a 37 roadster that I did some work on for another customer of mine . Hopefully my Saber is next in line !!

Actually I do & both of the cars pictured & the 37 in my avitar I shot with a Sata RP. I bought it when was working on the orange 37 in my avitar & it was the first car I used it on. Now I use it daily they are great guns... Now I know who to talk to when I need something.... lol....

No not interested in buying the boat. Just kinda interested in how it is holding up & I would also like to know what kind of prop slip #'s it's running ?
Also since I am not familiar with the 35 flame & what kind of speeds it runs with twin power making the same as that single I would like to know how they compair speed wise. I am pretty sure that it would be faster than a twin with the same power as is a boat like mine with a twin v/s a single making the same power. For example my boat would take (approx.) twin 500's totaling 1000 hp to run around the same speed as a single 750.
I would love to give it a try in my boat b/c it would be a good platform to use to compare performance , seeing that I have a real good Idea what kind of speeds it will run with given single power as compaired to twins , where as the 35 Nordic to my knowledge has never been ran with single power & a single drive.
& Oh yeah I was kinda hoping the owner of the boat decided to repower the boat with twins & the splitter was laying in their garage collecting dust & needed a new home in the hills of TN... Of course comfortably behind my blown BBC & in front of 2 XR ITS's hanging off the back of my Saber ..
My transom is a clean canvas & I have plenty of room in the engine compartment. Now If I could only convince Imco , or SCS , or another mfg. That my boat is the perfect candidate for a test ......

You don't happen to have a way to scan that in High Resolution & email it to me do you ??
Either way I will try to check that out... I currently get Extreme Boats mag. & had PB & Hotboat mag subscriptions since back in the early 90's , However I don't currently get PB & the nearest place that carries it is 50 miles away...

For the money of a gear splitter, and two drives................Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy my spare #6 and be done with it?
Talk with Check300 he is running that single engine 30' checkmate with a #6 and alot more power than I beleive you will be and the boat is a rocket ! and handle's like it's on rails.
