Response to Looking good, Mark !
Actualy they are not white it is Almond but in al the photos it does look white My motors were originally an almond or off white color almost beige. PO sprayed everything with paint at some time but I did ask the machine shop if they found any blue in hot tanking the block etc... No was the answer and I know the parts I stripped on the wheel had no blue anywhere. So I can tell you now that Chris did make them in white my surveyor said he has seen whiute before also mostly in the 75 76 era and according to him only on the Q's. The one thing I did do was strip paint from all copper lines and Bronze parts I think it is going to look good in Almond and Shiny bronze and copper. Heck half my rubber hoses were painted, not any more. And yes Paul Iam trying to figure out how to fire it on the stand there is a problem and I will photograph it tomorrow or the next day. Meanwhile I taking tomorrow off to go to the Cleveland Boat & Waterfront Lifestyle Expo this weekend with a bunch of my fellow YC members. If anyone out there is going to be there tomorrow meet us in the Round House Bar sometime in the afternoon try around 2 pm or so you will see us in our All Ports Yacht Club Clothing we will be the loud bunch. Come introduce yourself and say Hi you may get an invite to a special party.
