Project X

[turch]

These are pictures of my 94 vmax 95 engine that I will be turning into an asphalt racer.
I'll post more pictures as the project goes. It's a little slow right now cause I can't seem to get off this damn site.LOL
Busy buying parts from other members, everybody's been great so far. First time putting pictures on, hope it works or I'll have to ask my wife :( LOL

Started holidays today YAHOO:fest30::eck02::fullmoon:
Stripped my tunnel and started polishing, had to take a break, my arms look like Popeye's. Doug, you and Rob know what I'm talking about.
Here's a few snaps of my progress

Ahh yesss, that brings back many a memory for me!! Looks awesome turch. Lot of work, and grueling, but the results are fantastic. Its surprising once they are polished, how easy it is to maintain that shine periodically with some polish, and never seems to tarnish near as fast or bad as aluminum that isn,t polished...Rob.

Turch, are those skis some of Hauck's old ones, or are did someone else make them? Looks like more stuff to polish. Keep up the good work!

[turch]

Yes the skis are off of Pat"s sled. But I won"t be useing them.
Chris it sure takes along time, but worth it for sure!

[Kahunas]

Hey Turch, how will you know if you get the same cylinders and engine components back from the machinist? Haha!

[keith]

Yup better put some center punch marks on everything just to be sure.

I love tho's pics of Pat..Nice open hood shot withe Howlers just sittin there..

[turch]

Yeah I don't think it would be funny if I got somebody else's motor back. And I just saw this thing on the news where they caught 3 postal workers throwing totes in the air like the one I'll be using and watching them smash on the ground and they were all laughing. Pretty nerve racking but I'm still going to be sending it out in a couple of weeks. I'll be saying my prayers nightly until it gets back.....LOL
