Yankee's build-complete

[yankeeboy]

On the last pic of post #39, you can see how my foothold was bent outward due to wierd warping and foam. So my dad and I pried the hold out, and he had the idea to drill holes in pennies to use as little backing plates, then rivet them to hold the foothold flush. :hail: It worked really good and then i was able to glass over the holds.

[yankeeboy]

Over the past week i took the 2 little tabs off under the bracket area. Then i filled the 2 voids with foam, and cut flat. I layed down 2 layers of 12 oz biax. ( ps. Working under there is a pain in the arse )

Grind those ribs and put another layer of glass around the nose. Your going to put your boat through hell learning to roll.

Hope to ride with you this summer. --Wheels

I'm probably going to leave it as is, its a pain working in the nose. Not to mention i just learned im allergic to ( i think ) the resin, i got a rash and itchy bumps on face and arms. I might take a look and see how the glass dried, and add a little where need be.

Hit me or goose up if your comming near harrisburg. I usually go to blue marsh a few times, so we'll have to get together.

 

[Wheels]

I will hit you guys up! Good luck! Love the square!

 

[yankeeboy]

I stripped all my old decals, except now theres an outline from where they were. I didnt get it perfectly clean either, but itll do. Ill also spray paint over the patch job just to cover it.

 

[DaUpJetSkier]

you could get some buffing compound and polish and just buff it, sand wet with 3000 grit buff with a cutting compund then polish, pretty easy on the flat surfaces on a SN

 

[yankeeboy]

got my pole on

Got my pole on, nice and tight ( but not too tight ). It can also move all the way up.

 

[Goose]

get some stainless bolts in their

 

[yankeeboy]

we were going to, but these are coated in something so they wont rust out that quick. I seriously think my square is resistant to rust, with steel pump bolts, and my sunk engine, no rust problem to date.

 

[yankeeboy]

heres a pic with the hood on. I need to relocate the hood hooks.

 

[yankeeboy]

Look What I got!

and 36 days later....



It was in a cardboard box, engine wrapped in a shirt, and carb in a towel. Its all dirty ( no biggie ) im not sure if dirt is in the engine and what not, theres some in the carb ( which is retail ) Also look at the one picture, the wire going from stator t e-box has a break in it, with 2 exposed wires. I assume this can be fixed?

 

[yankeeboy]

I forgot to add what it is that i got in the mail today. The motor above is what ill be running. Its a 62t case/61x cylinder, cool girdle head, 61x electrics, i was told 180 compression, 83mm bore ( 730cc ) with BCW mild freestyle port job. The carb in the pics is a retail mikuni 44, on a BCW intake with reed stuffers, i dont know what reeds are in there. Not sure what carb set up ill end up with. Ill also need an exhaust manifold.

 

[kurtwolff]

I've got a Riva Powerbomb 48 carb that I don't think I'll be using, maybe we can work something out!!

Your welcome

Not a problem. You even learned how to paint. At least primer and paint, next you can learn how to clear.I think it turned out nice for a backyard paint job.:bigok:
