just placed us composites order, i have 6yds of 12oz biax, three tubes of 5200, 1/2 gal of epoxy, black pigment, 4oz cabasoil, some rollers, and some foam..... now my wallet is hurting haha

 

[fals3illusion]

dude from experience..... you need MORE than 1/2 a gal for 6 yards lol i went through like 2 gal with 7 yrd or 1708 biaxle

.... you may be using too much resin because 2 gal sounds like extreme overkill. i still have like a quarter of my 1/2 gallon kit from last year. I glassed my other sj, a flat deck 550, and all sorts of little things thru the year. I dont expect to need nearly all 6 yards, thats 75sf of cloth.

Has anyone tried to trim everything above the red line in my pic (sorry not much of an artist)

This would make a uniform width all around the rail. I think it would look kewl.

maybe you could start a thread and find out

5200 the piss out of everything last night. sanded with foamed, shaped, and sanded with 40 grit. will prob have to redo the foam on the other side.... it had some bubbles and turned out ty as you can see in the first pic. i got just one side in the back glassed tonight.

give me honest opinions on my glass work... is it good, bad, or should i be looking to hire someone to finish this lol.

 

[fals3illusion]

it looks fine, thats how mine looked

 

[Kennay]

Can't wait to ride that Chris

 

[chrisdoc0608]

hell yea bro, we will have to meet up once it gets warm again.... im thinking about getting a hammer of a motor for this one... we will see what kind of money i can scrounge up

 

[Kennay]

I made that, there is sn thread that i start. I show everything in there.

here is how made that front end. The first pic shows how i made glassfiber part that fits inside the rail. That because i want to make that front end as stiff ass possible and with minimum weight gain... Yoy can also make that front end modification out of carbon. But i think you had to make first part that is similar. Or use foam.

 

[doubletrailerz]

what are the advantages of cutting 3 inches off the back

 

[fals3illusion]

better for backys

 

[fals3illusion]

how much does she weigh with hood???

 

[chrisdoc0608]

dont know....i have been busy as hell lately and this project kind of has been put on the back burner, all i havebeen able to do is some prep sanding no real glass work yet

 

[WAB]

Looking good, I'm on pace w/ you guys also, but have not started on the hood yet.
I found out a pressure washer does nothing to the stock foam but make it wet.
What kind of foam or flotation are you putting back under the tray?
