ive seen how some peoples skis and cars turn out with it and it looks great.

I also got a 300sx tank. I have the pickups for it but dont have the rubber seal or screw cap that screws it on... but I only paid $30 for it so I cant complain.

l'll be using base,clear automotive paint from the shop where the ski is at.They use sherwin wms paint.My Dad painted my first boat with a brush and then we wet sanded and buffed it.That puppy looked as well as anything sprayed! So it could work.

l think l have a rubber seal and a cap.l look for them tomorrow for ya.Thier yours,if l have em in my pile of kawi parts.

l just love having a new member in the family! Nice Mcdog! Pics as promissed,much the same as others,the gap at the rear is a problem,thank goodness for turf.

 

[Waternut]

I see you noticed the problem on the left side already. Kinda wished I had seen that in advance.

 

[JetManiac]

Looking good, wow, lots of work!

Most old 440's and 550's had the same problem.l've owned enough kawis that it the first place that gets my attention.Not quite as bad.Really see it more on the left side than the right.Both sides "wave" at you all the way down.But nothing that blocking out can't fix.l was impressed that customride smoothed his out with out body filler.

 

[Sanoman]

Yea Chris,a lot of work,but soon coming to an end......Still feel like it has been a good learning experiance.But l'm trying to figure out if that is good or bad! Should have bought a Superfreak hull.

Finally got some pics up for my footholds.l really wanted to thank Tom21 for encouraging me to butcher up his nice footholds.The stunt rails are low,about 2" lower than the footholds.So after some surgery to lower the tops of them and cutting the lower corners on both ends they fit.l had to build up the corner bottoms with some peanut butter to make the transition to the hull.Sanded smooth and fiberglass all the way around.

Some of the other stunt hole owners have said their footholds were small.Not these,you could stick a size 15 shoe in them.Tom builds a great product,the glass work was top notch.That is one great thing about this forum there is so many guys out there providing great products to us at a cheaper price form the big manufacturers.We do need the big guys,but it is also nice to pay for something directly to the little guys.Straight into their pockets!

looks good. I love those footholds. I put them on my wife's sn. Easy install for me, not so much for you.

The watercraft factory footholds were a easy install on the stunt though.

 

[Waternut]

What size shoe do you wear? Looks like your feet might be really far forward with those holds. Take a look at mine... I wear a size 9 and my ankles are basically positioned at the back corner on the rails. Looks like your feet would be about an inch or two further forward than mine.

Your holds will be far superior to mine but it could be difficult to get the nose up.

l actually bought these for my fx1,but then the stunt came along.Kinda bought and paid for,ya know.

Those footholds are as far back as you can get them.l plan on putting lots of padding on them.And size 10.5 shoe size.
