All I know to say guys is this 540 is a dyno buster!!!!!! Tore up another 1. Ain't gonna make the 1st race gotta few carb problems to iron out, but that's just the way it goes. Both engines ran great with the Quick Fuels on em but no good numbers:cool:

Finally got a few dollar bills saved up and get to get back to workin on the Cheyenne .. It had a few bad spots in the clear coat that was just a eye sore to me so I have been stripping the clear off the top and got to lookin at the trailer and thought it would look killer with a new paint job and a fresh polish on the finders so I got a few buddies over and we lifted the boat off the trailer and I'm glad i did .. The trailer needed some attention, it had 4 coats of paint on it and sum rust in a few areas .. I sandblasted it and got it stripped down for some new lights and maybe some new wheels .. Got it painted this weekend and got it back home last night, turned out pretty good .. I'll post up a pic of the boat after I get it out of the booth but heres a pic of the trailer .. Still gotta put everything back on it and i think i'm gonna pin stripe it but turned out pretty nice :))THumbsUp,




Might just be able to take this thing out for a Christmas cruz :happy:

Holy shit boys, finally got this POS off the jack stands and on all 4 tires. Painted the damn thing white but the hardener was junk so I blasted the trailer AGAIN and didn't really like the white so I went with the blue , Kinda dig it !!!!! Polished all the aluminum and SS finders on the trailer, gotta rewire and gonna put new LED lights in it .. Had 1 bad hub on the trailer so I found sum new hubs and ordered them and OF COURSE,,,, SHIT DIDN'T FIT .... SOOOOO I said fuck it, I took all the good shit (races, bearings, seals, and studs) off the "NEW" hubs and rebuilt the old hubs. And the search began !!!! I found a guy up in Ohio that deals in AMC junk and he found me a drum/hub and hooked me up. GUESS WHAT, it FUCKEN fit !!!!! And Ron Pitts here on the boards that has the sister boat to mine had a old 1 off his trailer and is sending it to me so I'll have a spare. So after all this shit I finally got the FUCKEN thing settin on the ground on my new wheels.... Fuck ya, you gotta love this shit !!!!!!!!
