Got it 13 years ago. Was told a racer in Tucson owned it. It had a big block in it .
I put a very hot small block in it . I made a mold for the 3-D windshield and we are glassing it in now. The paint scheme will look like the riveted P-Forty war hawk. I will post pictures as we progress. The colors are corse flake silver, red, Black . It will have a pinup girl riding a bomb on the top of the deck just in front of the windshield.

After many hard hours. I'm happy that I Let Tyler mold in the windshield. its has cost us 3 days so far but it's making this 29 year old boat look very up to date!!! here are a few pics to date..... We are hoping that by next Monday the silver and the rivets will be laying down.

This isnt a restoration, this is a complete rebuild! I like what you're planning on doing with it. What are your plans for the parts of the boat that don't have the shark face, are you going olive drab green?

We are doing heavy flake silver with panel lines and rivets air brushed with pin up girl riding bomb on top. the windshield might even have the pilot brushed in. the side pipes will be awesome.

Just about done. so hopefully paint soon. the 3 D windshield kicked our butts, but it will be worth it.

So you going to run the bilge water outlets to the side pipe area, would be cool while cruising to see some spray looking like smoke etc.
