    Hmm, the pcv pipe painted?

    I think it'd look better orange and blue. :headbang:

    Progress?? What is that? It is coming along slowly. I have finished fiberglassing the body and got it out of the mold. I finished the paint and body work last weekend and got it mounted on the frame. I have started adding all the little things now such as the rod holders but still have a good bit to do. I don't have any pictures of the finished body yet, but I probably won't post them till I get it on the pier. Don't want to spoil anything. As for when it will be done. . . I have no clue maybe by the end or August or beginning of September. I will give some more updates as I reach milestone.

    [size=12pt]Dick, considering that you live close to 200 miles away from the workshop, I’d call that progress! [/size]

    I just hope the final product lives up to my expectations (which can be pretty high) as well as all the hype it has gotten.

    Bill, you know if I am going to do something I will take it too far. Well this is one of those things. Just hope I don't over do it.

    Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. You may create a firestorm of cart envy. Are you going to put a glitter metallic finish on the fiberglass body? That would be way cool.

    HAHA, I thought about going all out with the paint job and graphics, but got to thinking about how much abuse it is going to get so I just went with a gloss white. I will probably end up putting a bunch of stickers on it.
