ski_crazy's 96' sxi rebuild....updated 6/23/08 99% Done

[ski_crazy]

I got the bottom finished up this morning. She doesn't look to bad. I'll let this dry then it on to the inside. Got some Carbon Fiber for the motor compartment a little paint on the inside and then its off to the painter to do the top. I still need to decide which handpole I want to buy to put on it.

did that yellow and black ski come from sjaholic?

he had one painted similar to that a couple of years back!

the paint looks good by the way.

what type of paint was it?

I have a hard time keeping my rattle can paint on the bottom.

I got the inside cleaned and painted. So tonight I got one side of the hull layed up with some carbon fiber. Tomorrow night I'll do the other side. Then next weekend its off the the painter. Its been a few years since I have done any carbon fiber work and I think this turned out looking pretty good. The air bubbles are out now. I was excited to get a pic of it I didn't get the bubbles out before snapping the pictures.





It definitely looks better in person.

Its been so long since an update cause its been cold here and I get lazy when its cold and don't want to do anything.:sleeping:

Its finally back from paint. It looks killer. The detail in the flames and panels are hard to see in the pics. I got the side rails mounted and the pump in. I had to stop cause everything that needs to go in now needs silicone. I'll get some tomorrow and get back to work. Enjoy the pics of paint for now.
