CDW reacted to mtdoramike in USS Crockett by mtdoramike - FINISHED - Dumas
I was finally able to glass the inside and outside of the Crockett hull. The rain and humidity let up enough for a few days I finally got to it. I'm doing some finishing touches to the main cabin as well as cutting out the stuffing tube slots in the hull for the drive shafts. I decided to cut out a couple of the solid frames toward the front of the hull so that I can slide some ballast weight towards the front if needed.

We have sailed those and Lake Winnepasakee (sp ?) in NH. All the boats break down into trailerable components. Our club boat Jack Frost a 50 ft boat was clocked on Lake Winne at 91 mph back in the 90s on a 16 mile run down the lake.

Thanks for all the likes and comments.
Right bonnet sorted now. Well at least that was the case until I started sanding the paint ridge on the white paint and some red pigment ended on the sand paper and on the white... So a small amount of touching up to do.
Some pics
Thing I'm not so sure is whether to do a glossy clear coat or maybe just a satin finish (which I would need to order). I also need to do the interior colour in the car body.

These car bodies are natural plastic, no paint. Just buffed, polished, and waxed. But in a way you are right. Sometimes the plastic just is not suitable because of inherent flaws. Other times it is fine, depending on the particular model.

Mine was a '64 Triumph TR4A.
A lot of fun to drive.

The answer is/was very simple: great looking styling, at an affordable price.
Being someone who actually owned a European sports car back then, I can tell you that owing one was a royal pain in the a** when it came to maintenance and acquiring spare parts. None of this was an issue for Mustang, Camaro, and Firebird owners.

That they were. My squadron in Germany had a number of TRs, a few MGs and even a TVR. I got to drive a few of the TRs and a Triumph Spitfire. Did not like the shifter in the Spitfire. The Beemer's worked and felt much better.

My first Euro sporty car was a '74 BMW 2002tii. It was a stealth hot rod. A 2 liter, mechanical fuel injection, 4 cylinder screamer. Boxy looking 2 door, 4 seater. But, I could hang with a Porsche 911 on the autobahn. Did it a time or 2 in '75-76. I've had a Beemer or two ever since then. The Admiral drives our one now; I drive a Ford.
