Surfriding Mark Gomez superjet gets some love

[KTM434]

I'd like to see a tally on the Tweeker build. Misery loves company

 

[sportfish258]

Waaaaaaay more than 30 ish hrs. However I could do it in 1/4 of the time second go around. Shane is more of a gluten for punishment IMO.

I think I speak for most tweekers on the board when I say it's the lack of an adequate sanding area that really is a pain when building. If I had a big down draft table and a real place to work it would be 1000 % easer.

Nice work dog ..... Only missing a front foot hold. If sportfish said jump off a bridge ....... And for the record I have never said "orta to do".

 

[McDog]

It has a front foot hold. Pancake style but different. I'm just not gonna cut in a recessed one. My bad Kevin, it must have been "if it was me, I would go ahead and......."

 

[sportfish258]

"if it was me, I would go ahead and......." That's more accurate reporting....

 

[McDog]

"What you orta do" fits my mental picture of you better.

 

[iangdesign]

I like the holds!

 

[iangdesign]

Any plans on lowering the tray floor?

 

[McDog]

Yes.

To quote Dave Chappell " they should have never given you N....... Fiberglass

That's a Tomski style front foothold. http://www.x-h2o.com/index.php?threads/tomski-front-foothold.134642/

The biax master strikes again. Those are commercial clothes pins. Don't try this at home.

37 hours. Sorry if my tally is annoying. I am doing it for myself so I can refer back next time I get a wild hair and fall prey to sportfish's "what you orta do" again.

McLMAO! Thats Mcfunny as hell... Looking Mcgood on the SJ!

 

[McDog]

Pack it up. Pack em in. Let me begin. Using polystyrene cause anything else is a sin. I came to win. Don't wanna ever open this damn tray again.


Didn't get much done this weekend. I actually have a life you know.

 

[Sanoman]

l think l have about that much time in my freak build!

Because you didn't have to do any deconstructing before you assembled! Lol

Or any custom cutting, shaping, or shortening. You had it easy.

Looks like another challenging turf job awaits you. But love the footholds setup!

 

[McDog]

Finished polystyrene. Poured a little foam to lock it in and level tray. Decided to use some parts from old tray since I'm running low on biax. Saving inserts for foot strap too. Tray will be lower.


All ready for glass now. 41 hours.

 

[sj762]

will have to move the foot holds forward now that its shorten ?

 

[McDog]

Meh. No. It will be rode in surf stance mostly so who cares?

 

[sj762]

just wondering cause iam doing one and wondering if i should move mine forward seems that it will ride nose high in the holds in the standard position
