Yeah I need to take some, I have a short deck and a long deck, the short deck is a project to sell, the long deck is a project also but a keeper.

no that one has been around forever, older style,nice ski boat though. The short deck is a '72 great original shape but needs gel coat or paint and re anodizing etc. it is set up for FE Ford I have a 428 for it and all the parts just has to get cleaned up and put back together will make someone a nice nostalgic piece Holman and moody oil cooler,cover, bell housing etc. I want to get the long deck going first though it is ready to assemble with only a few pieces left to be fabbed up.

Ah! So you did find a long deck after all. Great! Is it metal flake green with gear steer?

He's asking to swap the factory aluminum 4-barrel for the 61's tri-power but I'm not sure how dependable that would be, but it'll look cool.As far as the Ranchero, I was thinking the same thing once I convert to a tandem axle with polished Americans what, maybe it'll help him at the car shows.

I'm pretty sure that the metalflake green with gear stearing is here in Tucson now.My friend who restores Mandella's bought it out of Cali a while back.
