First Proto - Slim

Gremlin 3/27/2011, 8:30 pm

OK, Gremlins in the house....finally. Wow what a learning curve. It looked so easy over Goo Goo Mans house.

This is a proto slim that is going to be test swam today. I didn't smooth everything out on this one as it is a test plug for priming and a pink pearl so I know it isn't all prettied up. Just want to see if the lip is the one I want to go with and then paint and assemble the rest.

I do know that I am going to recess the grommets on the others...if I even go with grommets.

I figure it will be between a Lefty 1 lip and a Pikie.

Thanks for all of the inspirational and instructional post, talking with people at plugfest and just the kindness of sharing tips and tricks. As I plod along I might even be able to throw a tip or trick in of my own.

Thanks to all. Jamie

ALSO, this is based off of a Gary2 slim...not the same but similar.

Test Swim went good. First cast not so much, tuned the line tie and all was well.
