Sad to see the V5 put to rest, but the ratrod sounds like a great project..

But now it's just a run of the mill Essex. Mid-cockpits are a dime (7 cents for you) a dozen! :rofl:

There won't be anything run of the mill about this Essex, even Johnny cash would be proud when the list of vehicles that donate is compiled:lol:

She's not put to rest just on a Time Out:rolleyes: Yup looking forward to a different project.

I have this fantastic image in my head of a cool car like that pulling a pimped out 50s Ski Champ or something. You could just start a new tow vehicle section so we can follow along!

Thanks CC I will be sticking around, too many great guys on this site to go away, on my last boat I used Lepages Latex Contact Cement sprayed on both surfaces with a cheap $19 syphon gun and it has worked great. The 3M spray adhesives work, but not as well in my opinion.

Similar to what I'm thinking Rob, maybe can get GAB to open that section, Starcraft tow vehicles:thumb::grouphug:
