Awesome lights Mark. The boat is looking great.

What Edelbrocks did you put in? I was considering ditching the Rochesters and going to the 1409's.

I went with the 1409's which are technically for small blocks but they are more than adequate for the BB's and offer great economy.

Cool. Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like they would do well on my 305 Chevys.

you know , besides the fact that a project like that one, is a monumental undertaking,,,, you still need the talent. So great job, and you also need unlimited funds,, which Im sure most of us do not have. Unfortunely I need that kind of money to pay for my house,,,, not my boat,,,, lol
my jaw dropped when I saw some of the things this project involved. I makes my wall papering job seem so silly lol. again great job

I think if people were as talented and committed as Mark, the amount of money would be exponentially less than having to hire people to do it for you. But 98% of boat owners can't do that, so the expense does seem overwhelming. For Mark, my guess is that he could sell the boat for a profit or at least break even and be proud of his work. It's not for the feint of heart though

What an amazing restoration project. I wish I had half the talent you have. +1 on the Magazine story, any boating magazine would be crazy not to run this. Wow, over 18000 views. If you ever want to come to frigid Massachusetts I have a Clean Machine that could use some tidying up !

Great picture. Why don't you start a new post and add more pictures? I'm always looking for new ideas.
