Well I haven't been as productive in the last week as I hoped. I did get the rib templates glued to the wood and ready to start cutting, but that's all the farther I got.
On another note, got the color scheme figured out thanks to some help from Dynamic Decals. They drew up a couple designs based on some ideas I had and emailed them over to me with some color options. Attached is their sketch of what it should look like when finished. The orange color in reality will have a heavy metal flake finish to it. They are starting to work on the vinyl graphics and I would expect to have them shortly.
