Project Short Circuit Movin On

[Capt. DQ]

Well here are just a few pictures of my progress on the Short Circuit, will post some more when I can transfer them over. The engines are like UV's 1989 Cummins 250hp totally rebuilt 04 with zero hrs. and ZF220A/ 1.5:1 ratio totally redone. port side with Gen. exhausting thru port exhaust and modified console up top.
Strut pads done & shaft logs will be done this weekend. Hull painted with Sunfire by Sherman Williams paint, bridge will be painted off white up top with same brand. Tower is off having modifications done to it, easier to paint top side.

Doug - looks great. Tip: ditch those paper air filters on the 6BTAs and order a pair of the permanent S&B ones from Tony Athens, pay for themselves in a year easy.

UV

[Capt. DQ]

UV,

The S&B's filters are in garage.

Doug,

You've done an impressive amount of work on her...congratulations. Have you installed Bruce's fuel tank yet? Keep us posted.

Tommy

[Capt. DQ]

Tommy,

Yes that is it underneath those tarps & junk stack on top of the support rails for the floor. All foamed in, in going to work great compared to the 2-90gal tanks that was in place. It still has all the art work performed on it from the Flophouse.

I'll bet Timmy is still eaten that up about that RLDT art work and Bruce's wolf howling at the moon.

Doug, let me know when you are ready for that Lee Sr. base, and can I send it to where I send the CX?

UV

Yes send it to the same address as the CX. Just tell me how much I owe you for shipping. I'll shoot it right back to you.

Thanks,

nice work,i like the two chairs on the bridge one sugestion use a laser on the rudder even a hand held one(like the teacher use on the chalkboard)center it on the output shaft of the zf center line and you will be on the money.

[Capt. DQ]

Bob,

Went to Radio Shack and found a laser about the size of a pack of gum and it fit just perfect in the strut tube to line up the angle to the gear flange coupler nut. It worked great, but thanks for the tip.

R,

Doug
