Canuck Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Took my 70 out for a cruise today. Nice to be able to do that in late November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leghome Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Also took ours out for a cruise and lunch. Also poured a can of Sea Foam in the tank and topped it off in case it has to take a longer nap than I want it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420ponies Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I was not able to power wash mine before putting it up for the winter (salted the roads on Nov.5th) . Now comes the part of tearing down my motor this winter for some up grades if I am going to Pigeon Forge next summer. it's in the arm garage up on stands ready for me to start . I have had this week off and not touched it at all.Got to get that fire burning under me to start working on it . How many days 'til the meet ? Time is ticking away!!

Cam57 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Pulled the old engine out last Saturday. As you can see, I could have used a hoist with a longer reach. Â I will post my build for a 383 stroker in a few days and we'll see what you all think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 why didn't you extend out the hoist boom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam57 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I extended it out to 1/2 ton. I could have gone one more to 1/4 ton but I wasn't sure if the motor and tranny together would exceed 500lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7tonemonte Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Started my annual "use it as Christmas present storage" Unfortunately it doesn't look as if it's getting any more road time this year, so what better place to store all the kids presents than in the big green thing in the garage? Cover is on, Kids won't go near it, and between the trunk and back seat I will run out of money before I run out of room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisalone Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 That is an ingenious idea. Â I fired it up to get the stabil circulated into the lines and took video with my new camera. I was testing out the sound quality and software and posted it to fb, but I'll post the youtube link for you guys here. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LS5 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I worked a little on the monte adding more finishes to the "Electro Tip" option I am adding. I have the lever in with the correct writing on it signifiying the option and made up the correct color coded wires and gauge of wire with the 1970 plugs just as the manual shows. Now I just have to route it all in and test it out but thats another day. Darren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
