What waterbox are u running and are you strapping it down? Could add a turf block beneath it to raise its height if its a small am box. But after strapping down the box, it should actually compress the chamber into place a bit, at least with the limited chamber it does...

Hell yeah pong balls! Lookin clean man, those footholds are gona be nice!

Sooo much rain all this week. Got my backyard lookin like Shrek swamp Idk how much ill be able to get done this weekend, but i did manage to get some work done last week before i cut out for the pismo freeride. Ive been working on getting my pole setup dialed and im real close to being done...

Wats up guys, i got another update finally. Ive been holding out posting mainly bc i started fairing work and its extremely tedious. Fair, sand, fair, sand, etc. This is my first time ever doing "finish work" on something before, first time working with fairing compound and whatnot. Im using...

Love this, i wana see your results after you bang on it. Im doing a similar test setup on my square build, 5200 on some thru hull fittngs and silica epoxy on others. Im still a ways away from testing tho, so im very interested in your results!

The gifs are my favorite part looool, i have fun finding cool ones that fit. It definitely makes my walls of text funner to read. Tank will get some good use here, i need to mock up where its gona sit so i can lay down my ufo inserts. Maybe next weekend after i get the inside bracket area done...

More solid progress this weekend, got alot done. Need to start ordering my remaining parts, i still need a complete bpipe and need to install my stator, flywheel, etc. Im totally on track to finish for march 9 freeride :p. Probably place an order for a bpipe today, havent checked with them on...

Finally got something goin this weekend, its been almost a full month since i did any work. I made it out to Florida for the Daytona freeride and had an amazing time, planned on getting some work done when I got back but the rainy weather hit us. So yesterday I started out sanding everything...

Dude yess! Ill put it to good use. I wana do a black layer across the whole bottom engine bay to the nose, can def use the good dye for that

Quinc! Thanks man, I think i actually got dye the idea from you in one of the old threads. :) I just placed another order for a couple more yards of 1708, i wish i had got some of their pigment while i was at it. So far it looks like the el cheapo dye i used is working out okaaaay. I actually...

Im getting in wednesday night

I am definitely still shooting for a March deadline for Pismo Freeride. Lots left to do but im still hopeful i can jam through it. Managed to blast through alot of work over the holiday weekend: Got a bunch of sanding / prep done and then started by laying a dyed layer of 1708 over the hood lip...

Haha ya, i thought it was about time i threw it all on here instead of spamming everyone on snapchat!

Thanks man, ive been pretty brave doing all this outside and pushing it pretty close to dark at times. At least im im cozy california where theres no snow this time of year and it doesnt quite get freezing cold til around 3am. I made a bunch more progress yesterday. Got the whole nose piece...

I had used duct tape on the outside of the hull to cover the holes at the front of the rails. When I was laying the cloth, i made sure to press down against the duct tape and into the corners as much as possible. The next day before work i peeled the duct tape off to see it actually turned out...

Continued sanding and prepping the entire outside and inside of the hull where the nose piece would overlap. Noticed that the sides of the hull where the oem SN nose cover plastic would sit left a 6mm gap between the hull and the rocker kit. I floated out that whole area with silica epoxy on...

Ok, trying to catch this thread up to date right quick I had set aside the 2 cores from my holesaw holes so they could be glassed in as plugs on top of the foam. After digging into the foam a bit to make the plugs sit level, i filled in the holes with silica epoxy and shoved the plugs in. Then...

Ok so i wanted to beef up that hood seal area, seems like its super weak and flexible from factory. Lean on it even the slightest bit and it would flex pretty bad all around the seal, i would probably end up blowing that out really quick. After adding silica for support / level surface around...

I did some cool things for this build! Hit up JetManiac for a lot of goodies as usual, picked up the old style midshaft housing and new style shaft and pressed em together following the specs on one of his how to threads. It went together nice and buttery, ready to rock some fresh couplers...

K, beers achieved. The leaks were pretty dumb. Seriously, i spent so much time tracking down all the little pinholes this thing had. Each time i plugged a few holes, i would pump another couple psi and more would spring up elsewhere. Everything was held together with silicone and bubble gum I...
