    Uh oh...

    Is everything okey dokey? Hang in there, rowhard. You'll be a legend among men if you pull this off. Is there anything we can do to help? Take care, Bren.

    Bren, thanks, no, it is a learning process. It is becoming labor intense. I can see me only producing one front skid plate a week,... I hope. The tooling gel coat I sprayed is harder then woodpecker lips , and that is on a positive, I can't even imagine what a negative, i.e.; mold is going to be like, and that was a rear which is simple. Just feeling frustrated right now
    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    "Harder than woodpecker lips"???...

    That's funny, right there...

    At least you still have your sense of humor.

    Keep the faith Row...with experience, comes ease & grace...

    Well maybe I'll get flamed for saying this since we're all anxiously waiting, but take a week or two off. The best thing you can do when you're getting frustrated is just to walk away for awhile and then come back. You might even have a better idea in the meantime.

    Best of luck and definitely let everyone know how we can help.
