Do you hand lay each one of these piece of tape? Or is it a big roll that is cut and then applied?

Well well well....look what the cat drug in to RDP....


Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce one of my dearest friends...a guy who has known me since we were both teenagers...he knows where many of the FBT skeletons are buried...because he helped bury them.
He also happens to be Godfather to my #2 son.
RDP meet Flea,
Flea, meet RDP....

I can say without the slightest reservation that this guy is the best at what he does...and he is 100% the real deal. He has worked his ass off for nearly 40 years at this stuff, and only seems to get better (although he is much grayer than I, even tho he is younger by about 2 years) with time.

So here is the deal Ronnie...tell no stories out of class and I won't ban your ass...I have the button here, brother :D:D:D

Glad to see you here, brother...these people are in for a treat watching you do the Beezer.

If he doesn't post up in the next couple of days I will get word to him folks are wanting more.
The guy works 6 days a week and is always up to his ears in stuff...I am sure he can keep us entertained with pics of everything from choppers to helmets to u name it. He has had the Beezer since before he moved east...it used to be run on our local lakes. He took it with him when he packed the family up and moved to Knoxville.
