It will wear in and get scuffed and not be such a maintenance nightmare. Pain in the ass the first year or so. Just have some parties and it will wear in quickly.
Yep, I remember that issue as well... chose not to post that pic, lol.... I still haven't really heard any great solutions on here. You may simply have to reduce the need for perfection a notch or two eventually... and just wet wipe floor down after tucked in.
Oh I imagine he's just waiting for closer to finish before approaching. He's no dummy
Embrace the OCD my brutha.... seems to be trending.So, you're suggesting I ignore my OCD? I'll need Prozac. I'm hoping what @McKay says is true and it wear in. Just a wet wipe makes a dusty smear. It requires a wet towel, followed by a dry towel. But the results are rad!!
Just start drinking again. I am volunteering to drive when you've had too much to drink. Be just like old times of sorts.So, you're suggesting I ignore my OCD? I'll need Prozac.

Just stunning.Just saw this YouTube for the first time. This is different than the one showing the painting process. This is a finished walk-around. Lots of hidden detail in the paint. I cannot wait to see it for the first time up close and in the sun. He's told me he did stuff I don't know about...yet.
that is just flat bitchen... (which was the name of my old Hondo BTWJust saw this YouTube for the first time. This is different than the one showing the painting process.

I think the worst one was sending some jackhole that was snoring so loud that nobody could sleep and passed out in a lounger out to sea on the tractor innertube after 30 minutes of arguing about whether we should lash him down on it or not.The old times? That wasn't even drinking...that was something else. I remember 2AM wrestling matches in the sand, I remember moving guys sleeping on lounges in the middle of the night to other camps. . THAT isn't drinking, that's just plain old evil.
But...we were first on the water to rip it up.

The next morning we all felt bad and just as we were getting in the boats to go look for signs of the innertube and life his poor sunburned ass came walking down the beach dragging his chair and we were pissed becuase the fucker didn't bring our tube back.
Lol
I think it was Danny my parts manager at the time that we set adrift.

Beautiful paintwork! Watching this beast approach completion is amazing. The painters are talented people, but so have been the others from Skater...don't want to downplay their work. Nice sled you have going!
Couldn't figure out how to send in a PM. So, the whole group will see my idea
Hopefully the smarter guys will chime in with pointers. This was real quick on the dinner table. Obviously, have no measurements, and very rudimentary concept at this point.

Agree. Too bad there will never be a set of PSI superchargers under them.
I'd hate to be the guy to cut the hatches open for installation.
To inspect the progress or actually haul that bad bitch home?
With this, yes. You had mentioned standing was an option, but climbing not so much. As the day progressed, I'd given some more thought to it though. The moving platform could make a lot of people unsteady on their feet. The handhold could be replaced with a removable seat with arm rests. Either way, the seat or the handhold would be removable to keep clean and away from road debris.
What about mounting it above the fairing or maybe under the cab?
I had thought about that, as my friend has a lifted Chevy with a platform style lift. The problem then lies in what is underneath the fairings, like tanks and such. They may restrain what mechanics or hydraulics that are needed. The center of most MDT trucks are pretty open beneath the frame. This idea was also concocted with the idea it could be "stealth", so it wouldn't change the exterior. This also means should the truck be changed out, this could be removed and put on the next truck with some mods maybe, but not have to be completely remade. I'm not familiar enough with the trucks, but I think they mostly run a big bench seat in the rear? If it were buckets, you could possible do a slide out, and a drop setup, like a "railgate" type of lift. Problem with that would be the stucture needed inside the cab itself, almost like an internal monorail, or rollcage.
who is going with you to get it?
I am not surprised. Have fun man but you better keep both eyes wide open and watch your backside!

I already told Steve before I could be considered to go with him that there was no way I was gonna spend a week cooped up with him and the Permachub he likely has. Figured I would wait a bit till at least the 1st week of the honeymoon was over.
Of the boat right
Hmmmm....You're honestly gonna say you're not gonna get wood at Skater? There will be dozens of boats in various stages of completion. It IS, the holy grail of performance catamaran factories.
And the minute I head West, I'm gonna be stopping to check tie downs every 30 miles.
After this trip, there will be a second Skater build thread in the not so distant future.
And am I gonna enjoy it.
