One Of A Kind 32 Skater Hatch
AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF WORK MAKING MOLD . LAYING UP PART IT IS FINALLY PAINTED . THIS CENTER SECTION WILL BE FIXED ALONG WITH TWO SMALL HATCH DOORS WITH HIDDEN BILLET ALUM HINGES ALONG WITH HIGH SPEED 1.5 " PER SECOND ACTUATORS THAT ARE HIDDEN AS WELL , THEY ARE CONNECTED TO ALUM HINGE VIA STAINLESS 9/16 JACK SHAFT AND HAVE ADJ STOPS WHICH I ADDED TO JACK .
I ALSO INCORPORATED BUILT IN COOLER WITH CUSTOM STAINLESS HIDDEN HINGES THAT WERE MADE IN HOUSE ALONG WITH HIDDEN DOOR POPPER .
I ALSO WANTED SKATER LOGO ON HATCH BUT ANYBODY COULD INSTALL DECAL SO I CUT SKATER LOGO FROM SHEET OF 1/4 VINYL-ESTER SHEET , 42 INCH LONG , BONDED ON HATCH AND DID SHAVED DOEN TO 1/8 AND FAIRED EDGES IN , TOOK A WEEK
WHEN HATCHES WERE LAYED UP I BONDED IN 3/8 THICK ALUM PLATE WHICH PROVIDED THE PLACEMENT ON BILLET HINGES TO THRAD INTO WITH NO VISABLE BOLTS OR FASTENERS ON OUTSIDE , NOTHING DRIVES MY NUTS LIKE SEEING A 500 K SKATER WITH BARN DOOR HINGES ON DECK !!
