I don`t see anything wrong with either except that trans fluid bottle on the seat.. is that what Wild Thunder uses to shiny up the seats? red on red is that it?

Thanks! Guess the majority has spoken, no need to order $600 worth of harwood scoops!
I just finished making a mini foam hatch. I'll glass it this weekend and see how it comes out. Was great having a small piece to play with and see how the foam is to work with. Now I just gotta figure out if I need 3/8 or 1/2" core cell

You ever thought of a hatch like the scarab vipers had? A friend of mine is re doing his viper and the race hatch is pretty slick. It's elevated at the front and tapers down but has a nice opening in the front. Looks pretty trick. Just a thought. Idk if it will be enough room for all your hardware? Good luck!!

Really cool sonic700. I can do an autocad dwg and send it to the water jet guy to get it done. Do you have his phone number? Thanks.
