Ron's CVX16 project
« on: March 23, 2016, 07:12:09 PM »
Just about ready to paint deck. Gonna be Acura NSX pearl yellow. They've taken some artistic liberty on the stern. See if'n you can spot it.

Check out the transom and knees. Floor is 1/2" Plascore.

Took a lil artistic liberty around the horn grill too.

Nice jack plate huh? Must be nice.

That's the shop dog "Dozer". He's a lot bigger than he appears in the mirror ...

Think they call him "Dozer" cuz he likes to head butt ya. That and he takes alotta naps.

He is a bad influence however. If'n yer hangin out bsin he want's to be right there. But when any actual work begins he want's back in the office AC.
