The last big piece of the puzzle for refurbishing the Sunshine Baby IV is the motor. Here's pictures of one of the most famous engine builders of all time, Don Garlits working on our motor! This is historic considering he built the original motor for Ray Gassner in 1959 and he's still at it.
To get a real appreciation for who Don Garlits is take a look at this short video of Don's life and accomplishments. Click on the link below -it will make his involvement with our Sunshine Baby IV project come alive.
Take a look:

I thought this post would add meaning to the rebuilding/ refurbishing of the Sunshine Baby IV. Here's

Hope you liked this update; stay tuned for more to come as we pick up the finished motor and get
it back in the boat.
