i still have alittle more work before painting. first im cutting the tray sides down alittle like a x-jet look, second the hood where the fire ext goes is being cut out then making it flat. im not running the pole through the hood just getting a rick roy type pole "making it", then doing alittle cutting where the back tie hole is the make clearance for the trim. any thoughts?

Don't know where you ride, but I wouldn't bother with trim.
Looks good!

Cool build. I've been watching this one. I would like to get an FX-1 for the wife.

What kinda primer are you using? Sealer or primer or both?

Nice build, I have an FX-1 as well, so I will be watching this build as well. Did you install tubbies? Looking forward to seeing how you lower the hood, trim, what pump setup, motor combo, etc...

if your going for a flat water backy, you need to start looking at a pump modification, intake track mod also........

This thing is taking forever.

Got my XFT pole. Not sure if i like it.
I may look for a x-metal pole setup.

 

[jetx]

looks alright...the built in chinpad makes it look kinda flat though. I am sure it could be worse! I'd run it first before swapping, may end up being the perect pole for yeah.
