Back from the dead........
Well, got my old exocet rebuilt and repainted again!
A couple years ago, a rather rough grass field busted the nose gear out on takeoff causing the nose of my beloved exocet to stick in the turf and remove the front half of the airplane! This also sent parts through the old RAM750 causing some bad damage and earned the jet a nice place under the bench for a couple of years.
Well, the past week or so, my lovely fiance has been working at my shop with me helping prep cars, the sanding of primer needed some work so I figured what the hell, she can sand out the old paint on the jet, then I'll prime it and she can sand that out too.
So, after some excellent work on her part, I took 3 hours last night and sprayed some paint on her! (the jet, not my fiance')
So, without further ado.......

I'm going to do some weathering and tone down the panel lines, although in person they don't look that black, the camera flash does some stupid things :P
Power will be a PST600R this time
All up weight should be about 15lbs dry.

Since your girl friend did most of the work
you should post a picture of her holding the jet.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!
I don't wanna put pics of her up, don't wanna be responsible for that much lotion wasted and keyboards destroyed
Looking forward to getting this one finished now, should be quicker to finish this one up than the super bandit, at least I'll have something flying while I wait on the bandit!

I've seen pics of his girlfriend. Let's just say that Jeremy is a very lucky man.
