V1 Cheqmate5000's Track Goblin #527 - 06 LSJ

[Cheqmate5000]

Sanded the gelcoat, filler, then polyester spray primer.

Blocked the poly primer through the grits and then urethane primer. Wet sanding through the grits. Epoxy before top coat didn't go on very good. Decided I would wet sand again.

Epoxy and top coat the underside of the hood.

I got completely ready to epoxy and paint again and my brother reminded me about the naca ducts ... Seriously! Measured, cut, trimmed the ducts, blasted them for a consistent texture

 

[Cheqmate5000]

Glued in the ducts, repainted the inside of the hood, re-wet sanded the exterior, and sprayed a coat of epoxy.

Not thrilled with the final top coat but it will get dinged up. The flat black isn't going to hold up like a gloss so I can respray in the future.

Pretty much caught up to current day. Working on cutting some mats for the floor. Mostly so that they will be easy to pull out and wash

Are these updates near-realtime? Or is this months worth of work that you documented and are now posting? I don't know how you have time to do all this AND post about it... looks good!

 

[Cheqmate5000]

Ha, I always intended to post so that I could ask questions but never got around to it. I am caught up with posting at this point. Well besides the new borescope I got to look at my bum cylinder.
