1979 Howard Mistake

Still plugging away and notice my awesome leaf spring I found that I never noticed.

That could be a problem.

Right I said a Hail Mary after seeing that one what’s sad is someone tried to blow some snot welds on it. Scary shit!

 

[Brokeboatin221]

All weekend long sanding, filling, blocking..... it’s getting there one beer at a time.

Probably get one more trip out of it.

I have heard of those leaf springs breaking ,but yours is the first one I have seen. That must of make a loud sound when it broke off.
Good catch

Sold my 502 to a friend of a friend. Picked up this 454 with a Gale banks twin turbo setup on it... looks like I might go a little faster after all.

That engine is no bueno. I'll be right over to take it off your hands and get it out of your way.

 

[Brokeboatin221]

Hahaha might be a good idea before I hurt myself......

Put the damn kid to work she installed studs, helped sanded some spots I wire wheeled and we shot some more primer. Going to paint the trailer, new bunks and clear led lights by the end of this week. Have all the parts and materials

Awesome, but I don't think she should be drinking the Coors Light just yet.

 

[Brokeboatin221]

Hahaha well said, she’s trying to cut back though. Her kool aid was on the other side.

Nice, Your little Princess will remember helping you on that project for the rest of her life

Kid started skiing at 5, lucky to have an amazing daughter! She always likes to help in the garage and kitchen! It’s her boat.... lol.

 

[Brokeboatin221]

Been a while but holidays and life happened. Finally back at it. Raptor lined my trailer, New bunks coming and already have all clear led lights.

Is that like a linex bed liner material?

 

[Brokeboatin221]

It is but has uv resistance so it won’t fade, you can also tint it any color.

 

[Brokeboatin221]

New lights, more to come soon!

 

[Brokeboatin221]

Finally back on the trailer, hopefully more to come soon.

 

[74 spectra20 v-drive]

looks good on the trailer, what your next step?

 

[Brokeboatin221]

Ironically take her back off and flip her, going to have some help this time, strut being mounted and plates/blast plate.
