xjet rebuild numero dos

[DR3]

well another late night but there was a lot accomplished today!!! i spent the last 18hrs in the booth layin graphics and line to get my base colors and stripes and the all cleared:bigok:

what a freakin long day... im pretty happy with it and i will start airbrushing probably wed.... i was using a lot of new materials on this thing and am trying out a new high end clear so there were a lot of variables but i think it turned out great IMO

i think im going to wait till its done for pics but heres a lil teaserurr:

hey guys just got my motor the other day and i have to say this thing looks greeaaaat:fing02:

-team scream 771cc
-62t/61x fully ported by them
-dual 46's modded by them
-r&d intake with their intake mods
- ADA head cut for pump gas

ill be running an msd enhancer as well and a lightened 61x flywheel

i didnt forget about the paint.. still spending enormous amounts of hours in the booth.. pretty much done now except waiting on abe @ north graphics for some lettering so i can finish up airbrushing...opworm:

hopefully everyone likes the paint.. if it turns out like i have planned in my head it should be my best job yet:icon16:

soo nice. I bet you can't wait for your one day of practice.:theyareontome:

lol i dont even know if im going to make it to daytona... i might just bring it to show but i have another ski i have to finish on a deadline for daytona and i dont even have it in prime yet... and its a bare hull needing shaved gas cap, pisser, bilge, and aftermarket hood fitment mfg:

i did get my paint done yesterday though.. ill put up the pictures here shortly..i have over 13 hrs of airbrushing on the thing and hope you all like it... i worked straight through the day and night and finished up yesterday morning about 8am:friday:

i went for a shark theme but a biomechanical shark on top of that... i have it ripped open in areas and make it look like its a machine. this was my first time airbrushing but i think it came out pretty well:icon16:.... obviously there are some things i wish i would have done diff but overall i think it looks pretty cool

i really hope i can get it done for daytona but im flying out of town till wed in about 5 min and i have so many little things to do and get together and on top of that itll be a fresh motor.. nothing like trying to fit a months work in 7 days:trink26:
