    Is there anything that you can't do?

    Looks super, I sure like to see this kind of build. Wish we all had the space tools and know how.

    That looks very nice. Is that a MC-1 lower unit?

    And he ain't too shabby when it comes to driving either!

    He has proven that many times!

    Can anyone imagine what this project would cost if Dick hired all his pattern work and machine shop work at the going rate?

    This is a labor of love.

    I'm sure it will be fast, but I hope Dick is gentle with this engine so we all can sit back and wonder how fast would it really go?

    I apologize if this is a dumb question but where is the water pickup on a super speedmaster unit?
