Default Tuesday night pics

We are ready boss!



My buddy brought over a V20 warming gift...



Glass is cured on the hatch, by far my worst fiberglass job(sloppy) but it has almost a gallon of resin in it and I'll sand it down a little and fill in the gaps with 5200



Still digging foam...gonna try the pressure hose method tomorrow night


Here's the fuel vent hose that corroded clean off

Hang in there girl

What, no beer casualties?
I know you gave a pint of blood to the sandgnats.

I save the beer til after a hot shower and cool down. My fat a$$ sweats out beer as fast as I can get it down. Sandgnats are the only ones that get a buzz!

Looking good Blue. The last thing we need is knats finding out about beer sweat!

Unless you are using a very high pressure hose like a commercial one or very expensive one, I can tell you from experience with a 2300 psi washer you will just make a big mess and remove little foam. The best tool for me was a long hand saw right down along the edge of the tank. You need to break that bond and don't necessarily need to remove all the foam initially.
