Guess you can't wear hats with a scoop like that huh?

[pw_Tony]

That is a gigantimous scoop!
Holy cow that'll catch some eyes!

[TRG]

Bill, call me up!

[Daytona100]

Looks great!!!!!! Mike:D

[MudPumper]

Bill, call me up!
Todd, please give Bill a hand with that scoop. :D

[cyclone]

you gonna tow it all the way to the river on the dolly trailer bill?:D

[MudPumper]

Thats a road trailer Mike. Look at the fenders and lights. LOL :D

[TRG]

Had a pretty interesting conversation with BillyB the other day and he claimed he towed all the way to Burley Idaho last year with his Dolly trailer with no problems!
I personally think a dolly trailer for the road would be great, not to mention that working on the boat would be a hell of alot easier as well as storage in the garage!

[djdtpr]

Thats a huge scoop!!!!!!! That thing looks like it will fit in at RCR with a scoop like that.:D I bet regular headers will make more power on that motor than the zoomies will. Im kinda suprized that nobody has bought this thing yet its kinda looking like Bill might actually end up driving this thing.

[BUSBY]

Todd, please give Bill a hand with that scoop. :D
Bill ... I have to agree with Mike here ... you need some serious help there ...
How about a new scoop tray that'll lower it like the old blazing paddles scoop:

Me thinks those little tires will wear out twice as fast as big ones. lol

[victorfb]

congradulations bill. and id have to agree, the scoop is a bit much, but fock em man, nothing wrong with being differant.:2purples:
btw. if those little tires are DOT approved they are designed for long hauls. most tent trailers use them for many many miles. i have them on my dolly trailer and ran it 200 miles a couple weeks ago and the tires didnt get warm at all. average speed of 60-65mph. were you need to keep an eye on is the axle bearings and hubs. every time you stop run back and feel the hubs (and tires) for temp.

[Big Proppa]

I talked to todd last night - he's got the scoop thing under control.
Busby do you have another tray or would one need to be fabbed, i am looking for a better way to anchor that thing down.
I'll be runing the dolley until the wheels burn off :D should be ok I hope I know billy and those guys run up to CFW with there dolley trailers dont they?
The rest of the parts come in today from rex and that should be it.
As far as the headers, it's kind of all I have right now I might be able to run a set of bassett shorties but not sure yet.
I've got to thank Herb for such a great job, he works on it in his spare time even when I cant make it over there, awesome guy, really building this thing like it was his own.

[victorfb]

who will be the one to crawl in there to set the pump with the engine mounted allready? :eek:

[lilrick]

Looks good Bill. That scoop is the poop!!

[Bense468]

I bet regular headers will make more power on that motor than the zoomies will.
I would agree. Don't change the headers though. Strap an 14-71 to it instead.

[Big Proppa]

victorfb - I knew it was missing something :D - pump is being assembled, we'll pull the motor back out to set it. Motor is in now as a mock up so we can install everything else.
Ya that scoop is stupid big but I like it.

[dmontzsta]

I think that boat looks tough.

[Big Proppa]

Cool thanks dude!

[Hustler]

Looks good bill. I'll give you $500 for it:D

[Big Proppa]

done deal -
spoke to Dave at DNE yesterday about that problem I told you about - all electrical which is cool. He says this winter were going with aluminum heads, a crank change and a 1271. He wanted me to let you know that :D

[Hustler]

So when are you dropping it off?
Tell Dave I said bring it. It's not like you know how to push down on that skinny thing at your feet any way:D

[HM]

You better finish it quick so you can work on that new outlaw v-drive. :D

[Cs19]

Thats a huge scoop!!!!!!! That thing looks like it will fit in at RCR with a scoop like that.
I think it looks kinda hillbilly, perfect for the hillbilly mafia. Just roll up with some yellow lens glasses and you will fit right in.:D

[Big Proppa]

I know how to push it half way hustler - Dave says that will be plenty :D :)

[djdtpr]

To friggin funny i could picture it now cut off blue jeans and shirt that says i like girls who like girls! Coors and Copenhaegen the onlything needed while at the river!:D

[BUSBY]

Busby do you have another tray or would one need to be fabbed, i am looking for a better way to anchor that thing down.
I would call Lenord or Lenord's Custom Fabrication in Fullerton ... he's a drag racing fab guy and makes killer stuff ... let him know I sent you and he'll probably charge you more :D
just kidding, for real ... he's the guy, certianly not the cheapest ... but one of the best IMO ... here's his number 714-526-7930 ... he's really a cool guy to work with ...

Super cool guy. Just took some stuff over there this week.

[TRG]

He said "Mafia Alley"!:)

[Big Proppa]

[Big Proppa]

[Big Proppa]

oh thats right you drank it all

[BigBlockOldsJet]

zoomies on an N/A motor ????

[MudPumper]

I got him what you left me in my fridge at the river.
Joe, I cant believe you actually left a turd on a paper plate in Bills fridge after he let you stay all weekend.:eek: :eek:

[Big Proppa]

Damn it ! - I knew those were corn and not nuts. Oh'well now I know:D

[moneysucker]

Bill, looking good. Please let todd take a swing at that scoop though. I am more partial to injection hats though. I say call Mr Gasket and cut Tod out of the deal. lol.
Mike, That trailer has made it to the river several times under Money$ucker. They are High speed DOT rated D load range trailer tires. If they are good enouh for a pontoon boat they should handle a few trips to the river under a light drag boat.

I figured as much. just kidding about the tires.

[bp]

boat looks good bill. but the scoop???? reminds me of that 2eyed snufelufagus lookin monstrosity that cs19 uses. takes too much away from the boat. maybe chop and channel the thing?

[Big Proppa]

Ya it's to bad about that scoop, I tried to find a bigger one but i was told this one was the biggest scoop on the planet. :D
Todd said something about a skill saw and some duct tape - should have that scoop done in no time.

[lilrick]

Any new developments on that paper work Bill?

[Big Proppa]

check your pm lilrick

[Blown Income]

I thought that I went overboard on the texas but that thing is is is GINORMOUS. It should have enough drag to kill at least 3-4 mph.

[Big Proppa]

Another before and after (i"m board)
