Thanks! We bought some chrome paint and mixed it with the spray-on liner material, then used that to spray over the stencil. It turned out great.

Well, I did some more custom fabricating, this time for the Sea Doo. Seeing how I knocked off the LH sponson from my wife's GSX at Branched Oak last weekend, and Riva sending me the wrong part...





The base plate is 3/8" aluminum, the blades are 1/4" ABS. We'll see how she handles this week.

Looks good Jeremy, I would think it should handle just fine.

So how has everyone been? I have been keeping pretty busy at work.

I just bought a new bike a week ago so been doing a lot of riding. (moutain bike) The GT Avalanche 2.0 has been through a lot in the week I have owned it. Cory and I have put on over 100 miles, I have ruined a brake cable covered it in mud, and on sunday during the Trek Trail ride (fundraiser) I broke the crank on the bike. I get to take it back this evening and he is going to put a new one in free of charge.

Just seeing how things are going in F150 land.

That does not look to bad it might take some sanding to finesse everything into place. If you knew the gauges you wanted and how you wanted them, you could come down some weekend and we could get it started. I figure that way, we can get you learning how to layup glass. If we got the first layer on then I would just do the rest of it but the toughest part is getting everything where you want them.

I have been Bike Riding a lot, usually on the Keystone Trail or on the Wabash Trace. A friend of mine and I will be taking our 10 yr son’s to RAGBRAI this year. We will probably only do the first town, which is Red Oak and is around 50 miles. We have been riding 3-4 nights a week 20+ miles including the Mineola Taco Run on Thursday to prepare ourselves. My bike is a Trek FX 7 series.

Maybe I'll run into you on the Taco ride. I'm going tomorrow night too. I have a Specialized Tricross. (see my album in my profile)

05, that is just a sample of what I've looked at for console mods. I have a gryphon, so I do have "gauges" for a lot of stuff. Thinking maybe I need to pm Krohbar for something similar to his FX4 badge he did. Krohbar, you have a pm

Ya, once you know where you want to go with things we can start forming up a plan on how to go about it.

Hey guys I'm selling my Pro Comp 6" Suspension Lift - Stage 1, its the one I bought from Ty like awhile ago, but I traded my truck for a mustang gt and now have no use for the lift kit.

It's a 100% complete kit and I'm willing to let it go for $700 or best offer.

My names david and you can call me at 402-720-4333, I live in Fremont, NE, please call me with questions, I dont hardly get on here anymore. Thank you.

David

Krohbar and everyone else, have a good weekend. I'll get back to you in a bit about the console. I have a vacation week coming up in after next week, so we'll get together about it then.
