should i change my screen name??
 

was thinking about switching to "Carbon Fiber Dave" :D :D . just got done building some new dashes for Chris's BatBoats and i thought i would play around with some carbon fiber. i did the face of this one in a 2X2 twill weave (its the cool look'in stuff). might try to do the whole surface in carbon next :cool: :cool: fun fun fun.


wonder if i could do a whole boat like this :D :D :cool:

:cool:

:cool: :cool:

Cool lookin..Change to "Custom Glass" or "Daves Custom Dashes" or "Glass dashes,etc"

hey gdfatha, i see under your pic it says your EX got the sleekcraft. funny cuz a few years ago i decided to keep my sleekcraft an i got an EX :D :D :cool:

Cool dash.

Change your screen name to catmando.

That's perfect!!:crazy: :D

:D :D . .i'm just kid'n on the name change thing. just needed a reason to post a pic of this dash :D :D besides i got almost 2000 posts under this name . . aint no way now how i'm start'n from scratch again :rolleyes: :p :D

corrado- what kind of boat do you need a dash for? these are made specific for the BatBoats so i'm not sure they would fit others. i do other customs though :cool:

Nice work Dave!

how bout glassmando

That gets my Vote! :eureka:

Hey, cool dash, is that the one you ordered from Trick Marine?:D :D ;)

Just kidding, it looks pretty sweet man, but don't change your name, you are the only dilrod on the board that has the name glassdave and I would sure hate to see that change....Hehehehe....:D ;)

CHIT 1968 ARE WHORE POSTS ANYWAY:D :D

whore :D

Dave The Batboy ? Naa
 

Dave, the Saber boys are dressing the head compartment up in mine using carbon fiber with a yellow tracer thread running thru it, cool stuff :cool:

Very cool. I'm glad you know how to do that stuff, I'm gonna wnt you to do some carbon door panels for my Cobra when I get it.:cool:

Jim that should be cool. now if we can just get ya to put some graphics on the big ol' school buss :D


are they using a hybrid carbon/kevlar or carbon/tracer heres a pic of the hybrid. this stuff ruined my scisors in about 6 inches

madcow- no prob, i'll swap ya for some stainless risers or somthin. oh . . do you still have that vac pump. :D :D

Dave looks great.

neither

do

i :D :D :p

When you want a clear resin, what do you use?

cord- i use Clear Silmar 249 from U.S. Composites in the laminate and just a clear gel coat for the "window". since i'm using the carbon fiber for the apearance its not really necessary to do the layup in an epoxy. the weave in the carbon is very sensitive and has to be handled very carefully. cool stuff to work with, i can see myself using alot of it in the future :cool: :cool:

Thanks for the help. :cool:

Cord West System is also clear

Jon

I though west system was just a brand name....

Dude when I put TWO stripes on it I thought it was a little much :D

The cloth we're using only about 10% yellow.

BTW Use the word EPOXY ( or at least imply you use it) whenever you can cause suddenly if it ain't "epoxy" it can't be any good :rolleyes: Hell that dash panel will never live unless it's laid up and baked :D :D I was just enlightened by a guy who builds E P O X Y boats ;)

aint that the truth :rolleyes: :rolleyes: been using polyester for years but NOW all of a suden its junk. :D :D

yea . . those two stripes are pretty wild. :D :D i did a layout of your boat on my drawing table one night i was board. i used the Japanese Kanji script characters for the words "wicked one" and swept it down the side of the boat. kinda cool. i'll hafta show it to you some time. ya know . . funny thing is. i'm getting ready to paint my scorpion and i'm going with all white. no graphics. . . well . . .maybe two stripes or so :D

who enlightened you on the epoxy? . . an OuterLimits guy? :D :p

oh . . by the way Chris. it went out U.P.S monday so it should be there in a day or so. :cool:
