RGR / Doug Wright 28'

Side question...what is the material that the plug is being milled from in the videos?

Plug is roughed out of foam then covered in fairing putty and milled smoother. The next step is hand sanding to remove the tool path marks.

Still pretty labor intensive but I guess the wood working is negated.

Bottom mold is now complete, the deck is to be started this week. We are cutting no corners this one has been a long time coming. We will post pictures soon. Top Fuel molds are at Dougs, going to see just how light and strong we can make this thing be.

Here are a few more of the progress:

Interesting rear deck area

Interesting rear deck area

Tripps? Oh my!

[CLIMAX]

Rear deck shows all three mounting areas. Plugs will be used in layup to block out the outer two or vise versa to run as a single. Ice chest will be built in behind the back seats.

Ice chest good thing. Tripp's, better thing.

Sounds like you have checked all the right boxes on this beauty.

blocking out the (un-needed) engine mounting areas in the plug is ingenious!

who makes the glass for the wrap-windshield?
