How to fill the gap under the tank so it’s a nice straight line when I am done??

 

[Devilman]

Hm, would have to think about that. You gonna have an upholstered panel covering them up?

 

[Longstr]

Tanks are done, I believe I just blended aluminum tanks into the floor! jump.gif

Suction housing is done, this was a bitch to do in one piece

Looks fantastic Ryan, well done!

I am curious, why did you glass in your suction housing? What if you need to remove it for a repair?

It’s an E pump, only removes from the bottom, I put a layer on everything that I put kitty hair on, used kitty hair because the texture that someone put on the boat was drastic, like 90s ceiling splatter texture, just trying to get it smooth again.

Oh okay, thanks!

Sneak peak of the finished rail kit!

By far the worst part so far is sanding for the final finish, it’s terrible!!! I am at about 4 hrs into it maybe 2 more and it will be ready for primer, then I get to sand it again before color  crazy.gif

 

[Longstr]

Just like unwrapping a Christmas present! Tomorrow I will mask them off and prime the rest

 

[Drumzilla]

You should be proud .. That looks real good bud...

 

[Longstr]

Thanks sir, I am I think they turned out killer I just wanted something a bit different

 

[Longstr]

Well I prepped the whole thing and mixed my interlux epoxy primer and all hell broke loose. Directions said 3:1 reduce 25% did that.. it was like  my kids white playdoo plugged up both my guns, spent 2 hrs cleaning the gunky mess out of them, shut the damn shop light offf. Better luck tomorrow I suppose.
