Mission Red
Oct 3^rd, 2009, 9:55pm

I have been trying to make a set of rods for myself and match them to this baby that I used to own previously. My fav ride to date. 5.7L of Chev V8

I am now running around in an AWD drive version of the same thing but alas its dull old grey but if I sell lots and lots of rods then I'll upgrade to latest model which now runs a 6L Chev Cheesy

My dreams are shattered, I cant find stocks of the bright red EVA that I used to sell so will have to put that dream aside and hope I can score some of that EVA at a later stage

In the meantime I am on a new mission. This is the Daiwa Maverick 6500H and I am in lust

. New project is to build up on my GT Popping blank in matching colours. The other red EVA that has arrived looks to be a good match and I have the right colour threads. I will be glueing up the handle tonight and upload pics as the build goes on. Will be doing this in between orders so will take a some time

Wish me luck!! Mrs doesnt understand

My new one is a World Combat GTZ Black Mafia 76....., now that's a name. Forget the soft Fijian names, after all "bandit" is as soft as butter and he is Fijian as well...........

Carefull or I will throw coconuts at you. Oi bandit, give us a hand

Had a bit of an accident last night. Went to woolies to grab some steaks and stepped on a grape. As you can imagine, the spill was something to behold. Injured my left leg though and still in a lot of pain. Rum and neurofen is helping some.

Feeling well enough to continue working so onto glueing up the handle. I have both EVA and hypalon in the not so funky red. I am torn between the two but think I will go with the EVA to save some weight

It turned out better then I expected. This red is starting to grow on me. Hope you like it I went a lil too deep on the scallop just before the butt cap, oh well, its home baked!
