Paint, Body Work, and a New Drive...

[chisoxguy13]

While waiting for my new drive system and a new prop I have gotten bored and decided to do a little work to my boat. After a radio glitch I cracked the front end a little so needed some body work anyway and of course a stress crack where the stuffing tube exits the hull had to be fixed. Here is a track of the progress I thought I would share. I patched the hull with a mix of 15 min epoxy and milled fiberglass.

Made a paint shop in the kitchen with an agreement made with the old lady. I better get this done quick so I don't sleep in the dog house.

After realizing that Missle Red was actually a bit orange I decided to find something a little more red and being my first spray can job the going is slow, but it is looking like as long as I am patient and make sure I wet sand it will end up looking ok. Lets hope so at least. I'm going for two racing stripes down the center and red on the sides and the rest black.
