As always,life and my sweet wife have other plans for my weekend.But managed to get the finish sanding done around the conversion area.So it’s prepped and ready to go.l talked to several friends who l respect their opinions about what was the best way to fill the areas that l grounded out.l got all the way down to where l filled in the inside of the tray with fiberglass in order to get a good surface on the outside.My decision is to go with making some thickened epoxy with glass strands in order to fill the void and then cover with some carbon over all of it all at the same time.More than likely there will be some high and low spots which l can fill in later after sanding all of it down.l will use faring as a body filler just to even it out smooth.
l got the rails sanded out and even now.So a trip to lowe’s to pick up some polystyrene today to start on them before flipping it back over.Also worked on the nose grinding it down and drilling several holes to form a bond between inside and out.I’m not sure what the black paint was (think it’s lmron) but that chit is tough.Also discovered that the gas cap delete does not have any glass cloth on the inside over it.I also have to do away with the 2 holes for the handle pole bracket because of the one hole-r that will be used.
This is a different experience for me,as l normally build new a/m hulls from the ground up,not doing a conversion on an oem one.Shout out to
