That came out looking great! Want to give my mid and cowl a makeover? LoL I think this weekend I might get my motor up on an engine stand so I can start working on it.

That turned out great! I just discovered the blue/white 2.5 decals a few weeks ago. That should look great on your Vking.

I'm at a crossroads on what to do with that. I have a hydro ram but no helm or hoses. But I do have a seastar nfb helm already but need new 18' hoses. LoL

Keep assembly rolling. Once ya get to steering then make that decision if ya Haven found a deal. I have the ride guide rack out of my vking. I would think Howard or Bill Foner will have cables for a decent price if needed. But at that would be just as much as seastar hoses and helm, but ya can have the helm and rack for 50 bucks if ya needed it
