Thank you John!
I hope to get some good action shots later this evening. My neighbor who is a professional photagrapher has taken some amazing pics for me of my boats. Hopefully he will be able to find time to stroll the whole 20 yards from his back door to the lake to snap some shots. My buddy down the street whos BJ has been in some of these pics will be out there as well running his new hatch. Should be a good time.
Still trying to find the factory boat blue. I think Im going to have to have it made because Im coming up w/ nothing at all.Comment

Official part "001" is out and I couldnt be more pleased. Looks like I worked the bugs out of this one. She basically fell out of the mold. It took less than 10 seconds to pull it.
First pick shows the PVA film, second pic is all cleaned up.

Im quite pleased w/ this one Dom. And I hope so too
I worked on Chris' hatch this evening. Its still not wanting to dry on the top coat. It feels pretty much tack free but doesnt want to accept sand paper. But, I played w/ it anyway. I screwed up a bit painting it. I forgot to tape the front corners off to keep them white.
I sprayed the blue out of my airbrush and I wont do that again either. I shoulda used my detail gun. I had a hard time geting it to lay even but finally got it. This hatch is going to end up on the shelf I think as a "first epoxy top coat" go around. But, I finished it, cleared it and will give it several tapings to see how the paint holds up on the epoxy. 
Dom, is this what you were invisioning on paint?Comment

That's exactly what I was talking about. You should get a lot of orders for that. It takes the look from a toy to a serious FE. Good, no I mean, GREAT JOB!!!Government Moto:

That gave me a weird vision. With that hatch, the whole thing painted black with the grey window frame, and a red light that goes back and forth....A Cylon cat....
Might seem a little too Night Riderish...But cool none the less.Government Moto:

going to sell thse at all? I would like oneComment

I am. I have no problem selling an all white epoxy lay up one now. Im holding off with the "painted to match" versions until I do some testing with paint adhesion, tape pull off etc.
Also, Im not laying these up w/ the typical gelcoat that is normally used. Im using an epoxy coat. Its supposed to be much stronger and more resistant to cracks and chips. Its also about 3 times more than gel, so Im trying to figure out a reasonable price.Comment

these things look amazing! beautiful work, i would love to get in line to purchase one. let me know!Comment
