    Cut off the original front end & started grafting on the bullet nose. It's gonna take a lot longer putting it back together than taking it apart.! Oh well, winters in Wi. are long!!

    It had to be done. It just had to. I missed the first round of mock up pics, looks like it's gonna fit on there pretty well.

    How will the front grilles be made water tight? Other than that, the front end should actually be pretty hydro-dynamic (is that the word for it? Like a tri-hull boat hull, kinda). Keep it coming.

    No skirts, remember, this has to go in water. Skirts just collect seaweed, sticks & fish!!
