And I'm really close to out of hardener... but have a ton of resin left... so I'll see when I can get more hardener in... might be a little while.. that Chop strand mat sure sucks up the epoxy... but I'm feeling pretty good with where I'm at since it's just mid April and I didn't really think I would get to ride it this year...
And I'm clearly going to be able to ride it this year... I hope by June to be done, by then lake Michigan will be warm enough to ride.. and if not I have a wetsuit..

Umm after this side it's definitely onto the reinforcing of the inside...

Then lay the exhaust and build the deck/ footholds

Firewall


Laminating inside and out with
"blue digital carbon/kevlar"
1 layer for sure... maybe 2

Here on the 'X' mostly
You need to get Owens Corning to sponsor you!! And get a Pink Panther decal or two as part of the graphics. Should be super buoyant !! What are you using to 'shape' the pink foam? I just finished foaming my RN with the stuff, but it was all straight cuts. When I refoamed my SN last year I used a hot knife to cut it.....took forever. This year I used a cordless sawzall with a metal blade and cut the time down by approximately 37 billion %.

Like some builds when life gets in the mix.That can be said of my build on the fx1.Very close to finish,but a lot of other things push it back

I wonder if this project was primarily to do something with the 300sx hull, or the 900 engine. It looks like it began with very little planning.
