:redface::eek:uch:

I got the complete intake system bolted up tonight and i have to drill the exhaust manifold tomorrow to bolt it up... can't wait for that damn thing to be back on Tuesday... I need to finish up the floor, and then install all the ******** I have spent all my money on over the last 5 months haha. Should be able to run it in a couple weeks at the most... :headbang:

I know the feeling, trust me.

Luckily, the engine in this pink one is already tuned - I used it as my main engine while my topend was at Jetworks.
Should be good & ready to go.

Next project is to finish my trailer. Blegh....I Hate working on stuff.

I gotta take pictures of this paintjob in the sun.
It's a pink basecoat, then a pearl coat, then clear.
2 coats of the base pink, then 3 coats of the pearl (Which was mixed heavy, anyways), and three coats of clear.
That thing sparkles like a thousand barbie dolls.

I need an opinion on chin pads.
Which one looks better?

The paint looks good though it's not my cup of tea. :smlove2:

And damn it, you just reminded me of the trailer that I need to fix as well.

Well, upon really looking again, the first oine wouldn't look so bad if you rounded off that edge that comes to a point that is right at the bottom of the handlebars.

i also like the one in 3ed pic. (on right)

if you dont mind me asking how much was all the paint//pearl/primer & clear? how many cans does it take to spray a ski? /me is looking into it.

PS: i like how you color matched the pissers,, nice job.

Weight for both pads is about the same. They're glass & turf, that's it.
For now, it's got the small one on there, but I will change it.
She doesn't care either way, but I think the bigger one looks better.

Grif: It cost more than I would have liked.
I painted mine & hers for about $500.
That's a gallon of primer ($80), three pints of base color (approx. $100), two pints of pearl ($100), three quarts of clear ($120), plus reducer and activators ($100).


Nice eye about the pissers. I would love to step up and take credit, but I'll go ahead and say that was a complete accident. She didn't like the second pisser I was going to stick on there, I found the clear one, and she liked it better.

Oh yeah, I rode it today. :biggrin:
Engine's dialed in and running great.
The steering clip on top of the pole came off, so left turns were challenging.
Char took it for a ride, but the water was a tad cold (59F)
