At least you have something to ride. Might not be as fun, but Surf Slam is just around the corner! Thanks! Top deck is 2.5-2.75" forward, then 1" chopped out of the bond line lowering it down, then the rocker comes up to meet it, so it really makes for a short nose. I'm pleased with the...

I hear ya. I'm not rushing anything, just working very hard on it. I'm retarded OCD about things. No corners will/have been cut. I do have some epoxy primer, but I'd have to re-turf if I did that. I could ride epoxy primed, then paint next winter. I will evaluate that option. Primered...

Over 10k, woot! Thanks Swapmeet, I'm glad you like it, I'm sure others hit that back button while shaking their head and saying to themselves "dear god; why?"....hahaha. I will get primered pics up Thurs at work. Funny thing, I have more time to post and update while at work then I do at...

It wasn't going anywhere? Like the engine reved but didn't seem to be spinning the impeller? If that is the case, you may have stripped the spines and need a mid shaft and drive shaft. Did it slow the engine down? Like a bearing siezed? Have you inspected at all? Maybe the impeller came...

Good to know. Thanks. Good luck with your build.

Sure, I went with 2" horizontal width, then the 1" 45* portion gives a total width of 3.25". I did however taper the rear, so from the bulkhead back, it tapers down to 1" + the 45*. The reason for the taper is that I've added built in turning sponsons like a Superfreak and I felt that really...

Primed this evening! Such a milestone. I knew there was going to be some minor things to fill, but holy pin holes batman. It's fine though, I'll be able to use the Blaze Glaze I have over the primer which I couldn't do over the epoxy because of compatibility issues (polyester on epoxy). My...

Madness Maker made an adapter and fit a ZXi Mag pump in his 1200 SXR. EDIT: Here's a pic from his thread

I'll be there!

Did you check the fuel filter if you have one, and inlet screen inside the carb?

Ya, I looked at the Omni at Car Quest after work, chaching. The 2k primer Napa carries is a lot cheaper and a Sherwin Williams re-branded product. Casey, it won't be ready to prime before the weekend, so I can chat with him about priming/painting at the wedding. It does have some gnarly...

I guess by the time you buy 2 quarts, you might as well buy a gallon.

How much paint is acutally needed for a ski? I imagine that whole gallon won't go on a ski. I was figuring a quart would do. No?

Trying my best. Paint is going to be the big issue. I was hoping to use epoxy primer, but 16 hrs before recoat/sanding sure makes an issue with the limited time. Same thing with the paint I have. It wants 3 coats at no less than 16hrs between recoats. I don't have 2 days to kill for...

Ya, I couldn't even hold a beer in that hand after. Hurt like crazy. I opted out of the MRI, if healing didn't make progress, I would have. Surgery would have been the very last resort. I have a piece of surgical tubing tied in a loop that I stick on the door handle and resistance train...

Chopped the hood lower and laid carbon inside. I've since faired it out and cleaned it up. Just a quick mock up pic again. Built myself a PFP waterbox. The exhaust goes behind the carbs. Mock up. Yes, that's the gas tank I plan to use for now. Pic of the motor mounts...

Shoulder is doing better. I really only feel it when I stretch, which I try to do a couple times a day. Seriously lacking on the updates here. When I'm home, I'm in the garage. I'll see what I can do here at work if I get time. Not making Long Beach, I have a wedding to attend anyway...

Does the SXI have those giant steel plates glued to the right side in front of the engine and behind the bulkhead like the SX does.? I stripped those out of an SX and they were over 10lbs.

Actually, I really enjoy some Long Hammer. Nice a crisp, good hot day beer for me. Hell Ya, I'm tracking you down for sure. I don't have any homebrew right now or I'd trade ya.

FYI, a $2 bottle of rubbing alcohol cleans up 5200 real quick. Keep up the good work!
