I picked up a set of the first ones at the beginning of last season and by the end of the season they were toast, but I did ride quite a bit.

Decided to try making a little splash guard just in case I end up needing something.

Started ordering some more stuff. XMetal footholds, aluminum tubing for the exhaust and cooling lines and some stainless bar stock to make inserts for the gas tank, waterbox and battery tray. Still need to get some plexus, foam and more biax but Im going to try like hell to finish up the hull...

Nothing yet. Another hobby and a couple vacations robbed me of the funds that I had set aside for the last of the materials I need. I'm going to try getting those materials ordered in the next couple weeks and maybe put in the hours through september to get it finished up.

Picked up a Springfield 1911 GI this past weekend and put about 80 rounds through it, very happy so far!

The bare hull was 84lb, Im hoping to be around 85-90lb after its all said and done with reinforcing.

Looks good. Are you using perforated peel ply?

I still have the sectioned portion of the front rail that I can use to make a mold for a fresh one. Then I was thinking I could add a lip and bolt it right to the hull if I end up needing it.

Forgot about this over the past couple weeks. Held some cash aside to pick up another ski for the time being, but then I decided it would just be a distraction from finishing this thing so I'm back at it again. Still need to pick up some more biax and I think I'm going to get an xmetal pole now...

If someone can find a supplier for the epp beads I will give it a shot. I think CA glue might work to bond the sheets.

For me personally I just think it would be more beneficial to shape my tray sides from sheet foam. However, based on some more reading that I have done it seems that not many adhesives bond to epp very well, epoxy being one of them. I think the race car seat kits are using eps foam.

Thanks for the link! Its still kind of hard for me to see the difference on my phone, the freak rail is flatter and I can see that its cut short and tapers out thicker. The big thing for me is whether the top deck overhangs the bottom deck, from the pics I have it looks like thats definitely the...

I like the no rail look of the rickter, but blair the splash sounds annoying! I think if I wanted to go for the kdx or freak style rail I would need to go a little more aggressive with the rocker so the top deck has an over bite.

I had did some reading a while back on the kits that a lot of racers are using to make their custom seats. They listed the favorable ratio for foam vs epoxy in the info that I saved. Ill have to dig it up, Ive really been thinking about experimenting with this to see how it would go. edit - I...

Its a tough call!

Im starting to think that too

Need some more opinions, rail or no rail up front?

Finally cleaned my garage then did some more cuts in the bottom deck and sectioned the rail up front. I'm liking this shape much more and might finalize it at this. Any other opinions? There is a bit of an underbite and the bottom deck hangs out a little more than the top deck, but I'm thinking...

Hows this goin?
