I bought my first REAL stand up in july which was this beauty... It had wamilton footholds, 24/7 scupper , prop and intake grate. the ride season up here is over IMO.
Now ive been riding harder and daytona is coming! so heres the start of my build.
heres the pics to the start of my first build...
All torn down and Footholds cut out.....
Now time for the fun....
19 OZ carbon fiber from US composites and resin from them as well...
Borrowed a little bit of 4lbs foam for the seam and under the hood seal area to get a smooth look. Layed it all out and heres how she came out....
As for the rest of the plans i have alot of carbon fiber left over... I plan to Not turf the front of the tray "the dash" and just have it carbon fiber for a cool look.
For footholds.. XFT for the win. I have a sweet paint scheme planned. simple and clean. i plan to match the motor to the exterior. the end result should be a show boat until the day it hits the water... then it will be used to how it is made to be
Plenty more to come... this is 3 days into the build.. not even
EDIT... OCTOBER 31st...
NEW Pics of the pole.... 19OZ Carbon FIber... WHAT A BITCH TO DO! Never again .... but it came out SICK!! also i shortened the pole 4 inches while i was at it.. this was todays project
PICS TAKEN WITH OUT FLASH.. just shop light on it.... layed it out 4 hours ago....
October 31st.. back and bottom all done....
pics of back and bottom....
Friday November 2nd:
Paint prep like crazy. TOTAL strip down of the hull. DA like crazy. Shaved the gas filler, and trying to strip my new lowered hood and nose peice down to the glass/original white coating. mixing the paint this week. im excited.
NOVEMBER 7th:
just finished sanding the crap out of the ski. every crevice. stripped the hood down to fiberglass while i had my g.f get under the nose peice and hood seal area.
Just primed it with 2 coats of 2k high Build Primer
now i just have to get the fuel filler area PERFECT and ill be set to paint.
PAINT SCHEME:
In the front i chose GM Charcoal Met from a trailblazer which will have a sweet break up line and the back 2/3s of the ski will be a silver with crushed mirrors and prizms as a base coated with a Candy Julip green. its a candy green like no other. It looks sooo amazing. think house of color candy apple green but with a more flip flop from dk green to lime green with a silver pearl. it looks MINT. cant wait to spray it out.
heres a quick idea of the paint scheme with the break up and colors
NOVEMBER 8th 2008
paint began. heres the time line from primer to paint. paint booth supplied by E rok Wilbs All paint work done by me....
Base coat for the green was a gold pearl prizm base.
On top of the pearl gold i sprayed candy transperent julip green
Time for the money maker.. clear coat time..
AND BAM look at the handsome painter
THE CAMERA DOES NOT DO THIS COLOR GREEN JUSTICE. WAIT FOR DAYTONA!
