Old school metal flake will be awesome! I wish I had pictures - it was over forty years ago - but my high school best friends uncle had a George Barrister Edsel with "chunky" silver metal flake base and finer grain green metal flake "flames". I can't recall the name for the type of flames but they were a sleek elongated modernistic style rather than a traditional hot rod style flames. Can't wait to see your renderings.

So... For you composite guys or anyone else interested. Here's what I've been working on this week. I start with the mold and I make a part from the mold. After I pop the part off the mold I cut it and trim it to the approximate size I want. Then I build a foam frame inside to give the two parts something to glue together to. After some grinding, sanding and shaping I glue them together. Add some carbon fiber to the edge to seal the seam. And then it's ready for final sanding and finishing. The wing skin is now 100% carbon fiber and foam and will withstand some serious abuse at speeds well over 200 mile an hour. Just thought I would throw this out there today.

Just saw this photo when I googled U1, is that the rudder part from this boat that you are now building?
Why do these rudders usually fall off like that, shocks and then cracks or a collision?

Your work is top notch and looking great! :thumbsup:
