you could also try to pre soak some fiberglass cloth and use a stick to poke it down into the tip form the inside.

I had thought about that as well.

off topic but i take it you have a ls1 car? what do you have? I got a 99 camaro w/ m6

So here is what I ended up doing. I got some medium CA glue so I could glue the crack shut while I held it quickly then used a 2 part epoxy with a couple good coats and touched it up with some paint it turned out ok the paint is still wet. also reepoxied my battery trays down they should be good this time

on the repair! Looks great and the medium CA is the trick. What paint did you use, it looks quite good. Mine was under the sticker on the outside and I found some cheap Testors paint that more or less like yours.

I got the paint from home depot they color matched with there machine and it took her like 2 hours only downfall is when you put it on the paint it has a brown tint so I painted on the epoxy so it looks pretty good.

Oh nice I just got a tsp torquer v3 mine was supposed to be hugger orange but is painted bright as yellow the funny thing is the hugger orange was rare and only that year like 1200 - 1400 were made

Love hugger orange, was going to paint mine hugger orange with carbon fiber accents and stripes, but once I found out how rare mine is I changed my mind. I have maybe 3,000 into the car. Got it on trade for a BMW I had. Mine is cayenne red metallic.

Nice! You on any ls forums? I'd like to see a pic.

[ls1fst98]

I tried to post a pic from my phone but it freezes up. I'm on ls1tech with this same name. I'm not sure how many pics are there. I know my Sig pic is my car haha. I also had a 98 trans am that I converted to a th400 with 3800 nitrous converter. True dual, 200shot. Was a nice 10 second daily driver.

Looks good! I used to hate scars on my boat, but now I think without some battle scars the boat would not have run so well, it's part of the learning curve and the nature of the game.

Thanks Tim - I like that
My Rio's got several of 'em - like you said... part of the learning curve and the nature of the game - specially when it was your 1st boat.

Finally got tired of fiddle fartin with it and put 'er on the back burner for awhile, maybe forever.
Workin on newer / better stuff that'll be faster / fun'er
