I'm really glad and relieved to hear this went off well. Paul has been fretting about this thing for weeks and it sound like this event just might have a life of it's own and a future there at Elsinore.
We're in the wheel repair business- and you don't get them back until you pay- and no checks from individuals, either. Credit/debit/cash. All my commercial customers are regular/repeat and they're no problem. I have a couple that I have had to hassle for $$- I'm going to see one this week-...
Let's see some of your work- post up more photos when you can...we love this stuff.
BTW, what's the story on the Hydrostream in the woods? Another project? They're cool, too.
Congratulations on saving another Raysoncraft from oblivion!
This is gonna be a long post....
You didn't say what year this boat is registered as, but I would suspect it's a mid- to late-sixites and I refer to it as a Raysoncraft J-hull. LP is a low profile 2-seater that's about 17.5'...
It's in Catawba County NC- Hickory NC is the largest town nearby.
I'm 14 miles due east as the crow flies from that house. Looks like a nice place.
No real drawbacks. Schools are rural county types. Hwy 321 to the west is four lane to Gastonia (south) and Hickory (north). Hwy 16 to the...
2nd gen East Coast. Dad raced an E-runabout w/ a Merc KG9 in the 50's down on the Miss while stationed in Biloxi in the USAF. Did other crazy stuff like waterskiing behind the Piper J3 Cub floatplane he and his buddies owned (don't worry- it couldn't get airborne with a skier behind it. Just...

A bunch of old friends had a big BBQ up above Raleigh NC and a buddy (an inactive v-driver) put on an impromtu airshow in his wife's Pitts S2. Grand old time in late Sept. Can't wait for warmer weather around here!
I was afraid you'd tried Alsa. Several of my 'business associates' have tried their junk, too. I recall only one or two saying they had any real success in using it, and it's because they baked the daylites out of the 'chrome' after shooting it, then cleared it with several very light coats of...
Can't go wrong with Hutch...I agree. I'm gonna make this guy an offer on all his stuff and see if he bites. Dynabrade is really nice stuff, too. I've bought several of their 1/2hp air grinders for my guys to use for flap wheels and polishing buffs. Very well designed and built stuff.
Nice...
You cleared up a couple of questions I've had floating around in the back of my mind on Fibral use as well as the PPG sealer.
As far as air files are concerned do you use Hutch equipment? A local guy has a couple of Hutch files/sanders for sale including a 3800 orbital file. Any opinion?
