[tor*p*do]

prepped tray to foam in footholds

and threw the foam to it!

 

[tor*p*do]

took a grinder and started shaping them the way I want them

 

[tor*p*do]

 

[Kennay]

[tor*p*do]

sponsons prepped for install. pulled waterbox because of the front screws

 

[tor*p*do]

second foothold being glassed in
gotta love wax paper- great for wetting out cloth

just put my left side on this afternoon...TAKE OUT THE SHORT HOSE.

i forgot to remove it, and i put a screw right through it...luckily i can cut that part off cause i needed to for the mod pipe anyway but man did i feel dumb...

You'll be turfing before you know it, looking good.

how far from rear of sn to rear of tubbies? any new pictures how is it going your build has been very helpful for me thanks

 

[Tuxie]

wow, great project post, pictures are great, probably will be coming back to this thread when I have to do the same on my 90 SJ

 

[tor*p*do]

Intake grate looked a little rough

 

[tor*p*do]

blasted in the grit cabinet

 

[tor*p*do]

powder coat

 

[tor*p*do]

bake, cool, reinstall :Banane13:

 

[tor*p*do]

I am glassing the sponsons into the hull.
3 inch tape all the way around.
They are now part of the hull :Banane35:

 

[tor*p*do]

The last screw in the sponson is just in front of the firewall
You can see it just below the exhaust pipe in this pic

 

[tor*p*do]

epoxied thin strips on the bottom to mold sponson into the hull
more sanding to come.

 

[McDog]

I wish I had a grit cabinet and a powdercoating setup. Are you painting it when you're done?

 

[tor*p*do]

Yeah powder coat is nifty
I may have to do the ride plate, blue is always better than purple
But it would be totally cosmetic
Getting a little rushed to finish up so I will probably just rattle can the hull whitemfg:

 

[McDog]

Yeah, I'm feeling the pressure to finish up too.
