:bigeyes: I guess Jeff is getting better at delivering his products like everyone has been saying.

How many layers of paint and clear were on that hull, Scott....:sneaky:

And what will your new paint scheme be?!? :smile:

dont know about the clear...

1-2 of white...
1 black
1 red

maybe more, need to spend another day with the paint stripper......



thinking black bottom, white top with black pole........simple and clean

Very nice.

forget stripper, use a DA sander with 80-100 grit paper, much easier!!!!!!!!!

 

[SkiDaddy]

Cool Scottie!:beerchug:

 

[WaveDemon]

what was the price shipped?

 

[WAB]

Wow, it does exist. Nice! :biggthumpup:
Why is it not drilled for the hood latch? Did it come with the breather hoses? I like the alum catch on the underside of the nose piece.

 

[Sanford]

How about a side profile picture of the nose cover?

I agree. This is what I am doing now on mine. Use the paint stripper in tight areas like hood seal channel, handpole area.

I used an (air) palm D/A (10K rpm) and it took off a very heavy layer of tuff Urathane paint. I used up five 6" round pads.

You should think about re-applying gelcoat instead of paint (unless you want a multi color bling paint job).

BTW: You can tell Waterdog is trying to restore his name and from everything I have seen lately...he is deserving of all the praise he gets!

 

[WaveDemon]

Is it me or does the lip that fits into the hood seal look really tall?

 

[T-bone]

looks good.....but i think steves @ wcf looks like it has a nicer hood /nose piece transistion

that might not be a fair comment based on those pics. he does't have a hood latch on and may not have hood hooks. that will change the angle of the hood line.

ok:

yes, it is pre-drilled for a latch/hooks (not installed yet)...
yes it came with breather hoses


the nose is just sitting on there, I didnt hook it into the catch....




Everything seems to be beautiflly fabbed.........even the inside of the handholds are pre-turfed!

How is the fit?
Looks like an amazing piece, especially for the price, and it doesnt look like the liner is going to explode

 

[DR3]

happy to see he took care of you! :arms: it looks great and is def nice stuff it was just getting him to get it to you that was the hard part:banghead: he does have a few guys working for him now so hopefully he can keep bangin out the work and meet the deadlines and maybe get my new rev hull done for daytona :Banane01:

 

[Big Kahuna]

personally, It is better to have to drill your rear latch holes, that way you can insure the correct tension on it, I have had 3 different hoods, each had a different amount of tension on it when latched from loose to tight.....

 

[yamaslut]

glad to hear it Scott!!!!!!!!

 

[john zigler]

nice hood scott.

i hope jeff can keep this kind of service up now.

That hood is so hot it seems to have scorched the hull.
