Freeride Sxi Pro

Here's a 98' Sxi Pro I picked up from Wamiltons just after New Years.
So far here's what I've done;
-Removed the fuel door made a mold of it then glassed it in to hull, going to used a internal fuel fill.
-Added foot holds.
-Extened the rails.
-Added handholds to the stock hood, but shaved down the fins on the fake air intakes. Blocked off the front air intake and added a new rear one. Also shaved off a lot of weight (stock 19.5lbs) mine 14.75lbs
-Now the paint! I took the pictures with my phone so there not the best but here's what I did; 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of silver base, 6 coats of clear with metal flake, 3 coats of clear, 3 coats of "Indy green", 1 coat of "Sunrise yellow" over the green, 2 hours of black pin striping by hand (that was not fun), 3 more coats of clear. I started this project in Feb and just pulled it out of the booth last night.
More to come!
Have a look and tell me what you think?

The paint and flakes are all from PPG, I can get you color codes if you want? The flake you add to the clear, and it was a "medium" chrome flake.
 
Just finished installing my new -4 X-Metal pole, -2.5 plate with straight bars and a WCF chin pad... At this pace i should be done sometime in 2008...:rolleyes:

I got the dual beather mount and it doesn't bolt right up had to cut a stock bracket for my hood lock. Will add pics soon. Don't know how strong it will be...? I guess I will find out?
 
Here's how I installed the X-Metal bracket, I still have too cut the two holes in the hull... But I hope this helps?
