    Yep, this is where I jump in and steal that puppy. Not! I mean...I would, but I don't want to spend 500 hours keeping it shiny.

    $108,000 and reserve has been met. Who has this kind of disposable income these days? Not me

    It's easy if you just save up the money you normally spend on $13,000 Hardy fly reels.

    Brad, just imagine the fantastic trip you and Jack could make to the ID Fish-In next year. And Jack could help you keep it shined up.

    Concidering the cost, I would be just as happy in the camper we brought this year.

    But where would Gnorm ride?
    Where you go is less important than how you take the steps.

    Clear powder coat. There are powder coats that cue with UV rather than heat. I polished a shiner fuel trailer with a slurry of water and flour. Lasted for years.

    Yes you can, and it has been tried, however the adhesion is lousy and you loose the mirror finish. It gets duller.
    I'm still working on mine:

    Hmmmm. I think I'd have to cover that bad boy in Rhino Liner and some cool laser cut graphics then.

    We would just build him a seat. Maybe on top with a protective bubble to keep him clean and dry.
