                    Thanks every one.

                    Hear is a up date on the tub bottom it is in the third wax stage.

                    The 1/10 scale motor is getting done too. I have molds of the blower and valve covers.

                    I am working on the bucks for the heads, intake and top of deck.

                    This is the old motor that I am going to model a blower scoop for the more modern day.

                    These 1/10 scale parts are helping me to get ready to form the 1/6 scale motor when needed.

                        I made a slurry of epoxy, Milled fg and Cab-o-seal and glued the pine strips to a pre-paired area of the fg. It was sanded with a 80gt disk.

                          Nice Randy, you are zooming along now. So that is a 1/10th motor, am I going to be able to use my 1/6 motor I have here from Northern Auto Parts?

                            I want to build a deck hatch for the 1/6 scale and you will be able to bolt on the parts from the NAP motor. There was more on Ebay now but they are gone. Summit has them now.

                            I got the fifth coat on the bottom.

                            The 1/10 motor is for the 1/10 runner bottom and the 1/10 TFH. Old project that needs to be finished.

                              Are you making this hull in 1/10 also?

                                Not the out rigger, just the original TFH and Runner Bottom.
