I haven't done a whole lot of posts here, but am getting my '62 Power Cat 14T ('63 Merc1000 w/PT&T) done enough to go boating this weekend I hope, and have posted a few pics and discussion in the general discussion area.

Back between '98 and '01 I built this little hot rod from scratch, home made frame, brackets, etc. 406 sbc, TH350, jag IRS (3.74 rear). 1/2 keg gas tank. She honks right along, and is a kick to drive. Not fancy, but a great road car. We put lots of miles on it every season, least as long as the weather cooperates.

That's a sweet ride. Put a hitch on it and pull the boat, that would look awesome going down the road.

Thanks man!

It's got a class 1 hitch, built it off the rear dogbone of the IRS. Got lots of torque, trust me. Just not a good launch vehicle. Those rear tires get wet on a slope and it ain't movin unless it's not hooked up, then it's 360 time, trust me on that one too. Maybe a tongue extender?
