    Is the cowling complete? Will you post a picture taken from the front and both sides. Also a picture of the plate you are offering me would be appreciated. Capnzee

    Default More Mod VP Cowling Pictures

    I find a CLASSIC plastic MOD VP Bridgeport cowling....and what does Capnzee need...More pictures, I on the other hand need a CHECK!!

    Capnzze, the stainless plate on the broken cowling it the one you GET...I am keeping the other one for MYSELF.......to sell on E-Bay...

    The blue stainless plate is MINE....The orange mold there will make you a front plate...

    Default Cowlings

    First, real outboard racers don't use cowlings.

    How much did Ron pay? Nothing, the owner probably paid Ron to take it away.

    How much will Rod pay? That's a dumb question. Has he ever paid anything for anything? And this won't be a first. But the good news is that he'll keep the cowling for the rest of his life. And it wil be properly fondled and loved.

    OK I win the contest--send me the prize money for the best answers.

    That blue plate and the cast one look like they are for the early model block with the large exhaust opening. Did you get into someones old tunnel boat race stuff?

    You probably don't remember the JSR I bought from you 40 years ago! I paid cash on the spot! Capnzee PS would you remind your little brother to try spell check sometime. For a school teach---never mind, but he did get after me for some of the typos on the 2008 poster.

    Default Newer Style Mercury Cowling

    OK, CAPNZEE, I got another cowling for you.....but you have to come and pick it up...This might need a little paint...

    I also found a nice light front plate for the other cowling....

    Maybe, I'll just put these cowlings on E-bay and find out what they are really worth...
