[WAB]

that stock turf aint no thang , any suggestions..
Try a wire wheel on a drill? Wide putty knife & a hammer?

[Frosty]

I used one of these to get most everything scraped off the flat surfaces, then used 3M adhesive remover to get the risidual glue off. worked great for me...

ok i started doing my footholds, now on the right side it seems the foothold is hititing the exhaust pipe... is that because I put them too far forward? or do i have to do somethin about the pipe?

i wasnt sure about placement so I put the holds so they start at the flat part of the tray.. about 6-7" from the back of the tray

[Hogggman]

You should be able to slide it back enough to just clear the exhaust. If not cut the hole slightly larger in the back to do it. If you look at your footholds the exhaust side should have a slight angle in the front to clear.

[jetx]

looks like you put them to far forward...I think mine are only like 4-5 inches from the back of the tray if that, mind you mine is a roundnose. Just keep cutting them back until they fit. Thats the good thing about glass you can always fix what you need to. Heres a pic to show you where mine sit.

[brentR]

yeah i fixed them, just cut some more material out.. and good lord is my tray ever wavey haha..

i checked my foam and its all dry .... woot... just gotta cut other hole and install and foam behind em... and im tempted to do the home depot scupper

[jetx]

glad to hear you fixed your problem...may aswell do the scupper now while you have it all ripped apart and not have to worry about it later.

[brentR]

Looks good sofar.
Louie

[brentR]

yes its a 701, no porting done.. i would like to tho :) and yes there is glass across the tray just one layer as of now..

[surfjetlouie]

I have been using the blue Nitryl glove they are the best for glassing.

[sjetrider]

[Idok]

i love that car! there is a guy that has one up the road from me...white with a baby blue pinstripe.....it has all kinds of cobra parts on it....


i'd buy it in a heartbeat if it went up for sale...

[brentR]

thx guys, took me forever to find a mint clean fox coupe... wasnt cheap either!!!

[WaveDemon]

that is one of my all time favorite cars. what body kit is on it? it looks a little like the cobra but I don't think it is. I see you have the real 5 lug cobra r rims on it. what other goodies?

[D-Roc]

yes its a 701, no porting done.. i would like to tho :) and yes there is glass across the tray just one layer as of now..

okay cool letme know if you wanna borrow my template.

[brentR]

its the DECH kit, they were big into making foxbodys corner on the auto-x stuff... yeah those are 18" cobra Rs, i just bought a set of prostars with a skinny up front, might sell the cobraRs... as for the goodies, its all stock :haha::bs2: :bs2: :bs2:

[brentR]

okay cool letme know if you wanna borrow my template.

sure ill borrow it, is it hard to do lol?

[brentR]

sanded and ready for paint... now color choice.

next mods - slutty hood, solid nose peice and whatever else i cant think of right now that are typical SN mods :) :arms:


my tray = hella warped
http://www.whatsupbuddy.com/pics/10012_882_8288.jpg

[brentR]

ok i started my hood mod, typical mod for SN... just gotta lay new liner now... not sure how to do it, does it lay on top of the channel for the pole or does it sit above it and sorta 'float' ?? i reglassed my tray with epoxy resin as i found out polyester peals off like nothing... :bigeyes: but its too damn cold to sand it (-5 atm) and lay turf... paint is next... im debating between rattle can camo job or a simple 1 color done by maaco

[D-Roc]

my hood liner kinda floated except that one spot almost centre of hood, there i made mine contact it to help sturdy things up. its held up to alot of slams from roll attempts gone bad so far. just forsee where your hood hooks bolt on and lay up the liner to allow you to get the hardware fastenable.

[brentR]

yeah thats what I figured id get it to hit somewhere so it wouldnt wobble around... oh and i might be needin to borrow that port template soon !!

[D-Roc]

okay i can send it out in the mail or ups it tommorrow if you want to pay the shipping. Pm me your address and get ready to grind some shiat!!!

hey bud...I would probably just go with a cheap rattle can job since you will probably be beating on it. I have used both the black and white appliance epoxy paints and have been quite impressed with them. They harden right up and don't scratch real easy. No they don't come in a variety of colors but you could always go all black or white and than go with a graphic kit. Just my 2 cents!

[brentR]

PM sent d-roc

yeah i figured id beat on it first haha... im gonna spray a nice thick primer first to get rid of some imperfections then rattle can it on top !! WHITE CAMO WHAT! im stoked for the summer!

[D-Roc]

Do it, Steve rattled his ski with the DIYS redneck's camo paint kit from Canadian tire. i am not sure how they get three colors in one can but it was right beside the plaid and stripped paint cans :biggthumpup:
http://www.x-h2o.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10375/normal_steve_s_ski.jpg

[brentR]

haha thats sick

[Mike W]

yup :) with the two tone black\gray dash = sex :hail:

I never really figured out the red interior. Personally I think it looks like ass. Grey interior is the way to go. If I ever got out of this jet ski thing I'm into I plan on buying another 5.0. Come to think of it I could probably save money if I did.

Anyway, your square looks like it is comming right along. Keep the pictures comming.

[sxrcohen5]

What do you guys mean by rattling can it?? like spray painting?(this may be a dumb question)

[meatball]

Spray paint, it rattles when you shake it

Some peoples paint jobs look really sweet too. I think I'm going to nab one guys color scheme from his roundnose done in rattle-can epoxy appliance paint. It was white with a black inverted oval thing across the front. I forget his name, if he'll post up I've been meaning to ask him. His ski looked sick. I wanted to do something similiar to my sqaure, however a black bottom, silver topdeck, and flat blue inverted oval across the front. I have plenty of time to play with options though, so we'll see.

I'm finishing up my slut mod sometime very soon. I made a template for the handhold cutouts, if you want it lemme know.

[brentR]

Finishing reassembling my motor ... I think I might finish the bottom end in black 2 match the cases

http://www.whatsupbuddy.com/pics/10012_882_8312.jpg

[jetx]

Lookin good bro...almost there!

[D-Roc]

it looks good but is that head on backwards? my ada has the water outlets on the carb side so the water flows across the engine. not sure if you can turn that around and bolt it back on.

[meatball]

its on right, thats the way the stock head is and Westcoast. Look at where the exhaust pipe bracket holes are located. Even if it was on backwards, I dont think it would make a different.

[brentR]

what he said ^

lol

[D-Roc]

thats cool, i know i had my ada head setup like that then looking at pictures of other motors noticed that the cooling outlets where supposed to be on the opposite side as the water inlets. Ada instructions tell you to install that way but i guess i missed that part the first time around. What size carb are you going to run on that ported bad boy.

[brentR]

stock for now! unless I find something at a really good deal

[brentR]

first turf job.

i hate it.

http://www.whatsupbuddy.com/pics/10012_882_8317.jpg

[surfjetlouie]

first turf job.

i hate it.

http://www.whatsupbuddy.com/pics/10012_882_8317.jpg

If you want to remove it use lacquer thiner to loosen the glue you maybe able to re use the turf.

[brentR]

what i meant was i hate turfing not that i hate how it turned out, so far im pleased.... if seen worse on this site for first timers :P

[Mouthfulloflake]

if thats your first time you shouldnt hate it.

\I ripped the side the first time I tried it. and after a couple more, im not really any better.

I hate it more than you I bet, and my junk doesnt look NEARLY that nice.

come do mine next ok?

[brentR]

hahaha yeah I realized quickly that heating it up and tryin to stretch it too much leads to ripping!

[D-Roc]

i've done way worse on my umfteen time, :biggrin: i am not a patient man,:banghead: so what color have you decided on? better get a move on it, river ride will be in a few more weeks:haha:

[brentR]
