For me, it is more like stalled projects... I don't have my own tools and space to do blasting/prep/paint on a couple of motors at least.. Wish I did because I want to try a few paints to see how closely they match factory paint jobs, and then see how well they wear and last underwater.
I couldn't help it though, and did assemble a 75hp Stinger. It is approx 1984 in configuration. I used as much as I could from the leaking nitro lower it came with but it needed a complete rebuild, and I put all the lower guts in a different case because it had come with a nose coned lower and I didn't want to run a nose cone.
So it looks like crap at the moment because of different colours on all the parts , but I'm stoked to try it because it got a lot of care and attention and new parts during re-assembly.
Gunna fire it up soon, I hope. unfortunately, can't really lake test it due to closures and restrictions...
