She ran!!!!!... For about 5 minutes, lol. The front bowl was dumping fuel in the carb and flooded it so looks like the carb will now need a rebuild. But it sure was nice to hear that rumble again. It's only been a year and a half.

Congrats Will, the noise of our old Supra's is one that you don't forget!

build looks good. whats the reason you didnt use ply for the seat bases?

Finally was able to get the tower installed today! Also put the new Edelbrock carb on her. The end is near.
Used a Forklift to install this bad boy, way easier than using multiple people.

Looks good Will. How's the lateral movement on that tower? You happy with it?
Senior Member
The tower seems to be structurally sound. Very minimal movement in it side to side. I was a bit shocked on how tall it sits on the boat but that means there will be plenty of room for the tower speakers. I'm very pleased with the looks though, the front legs have the same angle as the windshield and so it matches and flows very well with the boat lines. I can't wait to ride in her and behind her!

The tower is a Roswell Area51 Classic tower. It's a universal folding tower.

Tower
I'm in Charlotte as well. Any chance I could come see your boat with that tower on it?
I'm looking to put the same tower on my saltare

The boat is in Mooresville right now. But yeah, you could go by and take a look at it.
