so where did you get the line drawing, and do you happen to have one for a predictor?

and may be a drawing for pulsare 2100 ???

CM had them on their site a few years ago..you could also try diff.color scheames and see the results...

wish they made this avalable again...

I'm learning CAD and sketched those out a long time ago. I started with an actual picture and on another layer traced what I needed for a drawing.


Somewhere I think I was working on one for the Predictor, I'll have to look for it sometime. Hundreds of pictures and drawings to sort through.

I'd love to draw a 2100, maybe I'll do that this spring sometime, when I get better with the CAD program. I'm trying to learn 3D right now.

Here's a recent one I did by hand for my Sidewinder members. I think this one would have made them a bunch of money. Its real close in size to a 2100.

Thanx Coop...

You're asking for paint ideas,I thought you prefered working with Gel?
or is that what you meant

This should be interesting to follow Thanks for sharing this project

 

[Chris E]

thanks coop - my drawing skills are that of a first grader - my son just surpased my ability (he's 7) however i can color between the lines!

i really want to play with some colors and patterns over the winter since that's all the work i can do.

my floor is cut today hoping for a test fit tonite, then i'll glass the stringers - that's probably as far as i will get.

Most of the dirt is out of the hull mold. I've got a long way to go, but things are moving along.

 

[cooperider]

I went ahead and used a mop and bucket on the deck mold. I'm finding all sorts of little spots to fix on this one.

 

[cooperider]

I should call this a Stealth Boat, my camera has a hard time focusing on this thing.

 

[ezstriper]

Hey coop....thats awsome....good luck on the project....hope you get one built !!!!

 

[BullittBen]

Build it Coop, Build it Coop!! That would be awesome to buy a brand new vintage boat, hand built by a seasoned boat guy. You da man.

 

[cooperider]

Just for fun, I pulled out the old photo album(remember those) and scanned in a few pictures of this project from waaay back when. The date on the back of the pictures says Sept. 1, 1990.


These are a few of the plug build up. I'll never work in a shop painted brown again, but I sure wish I had the space like I used too.

 

[cooperider]

Nice clean dash area.

One of many layers of primer. Then more filler, then more primer.

Skin out layer in the hull mold. I used the part I built here, to build my deck plug on.
