    Talking Update!! (finally)

    I haven't posted anything in the last couple of weeks because I had to put the boat aside. One of my closest and most dear friends passed away last week and it has really affected my daily routine. He was only 4 months older than I am and one of the most fearless adrenaline junkies I have known. He was in the process of building a really nice race car to take to Georgia in a couple weeks but his passing halted that. His sons took up the challenge and are trying to get the car done for the race for him so I took a couple days last week and drove up and helped them.

    The last couple days have been better for me and I got back to work on the boat. I stayed at the shop until after midnight last night getting the boat masked off and cleaned so another good friend could come shoot the primer on top for me today. Hopefully my back will hold out and allow me to get this thing blocked this weekend so the top can have pretty blue paint like the bottom.

    Nice build...looks great. Sorry about your loss.
    What size is that?

    Did you use Imron or Awlgrip?
    If so what made you go with that decision?
    If you did not go that route...what me you go with that decision of using regular auto paint?
    Thanks
