DeNada Progress

It's been a while since I have mentioned much about my progress on bringing DeNada back to life.

A major part of this project is to fabricate the exhaust system. Yesterday I sat the genset in DeNada and hooked up tempory fuel and water then started her up for a test run. NO LEAKS on the exhaust system and it really did feel good to here the noise of an engine come from the engine compartment.

Funny how you can work and work to actually see very little progress then WALLA! ! ! it all comes to gether........the feeling is great.....

Now I can start putting down the deck.

Onward and Upward! ! ! !

I will be cleaning the engine compartments for final paint and grooming the engines for final installation in the next week or so. I have not took many pics lately but will certainly take more now that things are actually coming together.

In the infamous words of Col. John "Hannibal" Smith from the A-Team, "I love it when a plan comes together"

Sounds good I'll be looking forward to the pics. Have an idea to splash time?

Hi guys
Here are a couple pics of DeNada's genset setting in place. Gotta come back out for insulation and paint. Next time I install the genset and engines will be forever.

Looks like you could come home on that thing. You are gonna have plenty of AC for the summer.
