[Pontoon Princess]

guess seats first, then rapid rabbit

 

[Melensdad]

I don;t see a bunny.

Want me to dig through the kitchen "junk drawer" to find you a slightly used permanent SHARPIE marker so you can draw the rapid rabbit?

 

[Cidertom]

i didn't think they used plywood for bases under ejection seats.

so demanding and most funny, rapid rabbit is installed on both sides, just skipped over to seats, and yes plywood bases make the ejection seat lighter so the "said person" goes higher and further...

Blah blah blah, all good stuff, clearly you are doing an amazing job on this restoration, awesome paint, great plywood seats, even if the passenger ejection seat function doesn't work, but darn it, where is that fuzzy bunny? Rapid Rabbit, if you wish to call him that.

Are you sure you don't need me to find a sharpie in my kitchen junk drawer?

Clearly the long eared bunny rabbit is more importanter to the typical FF snowcat members than perfectly executed pin stripes and flawless paint.

building suspense

big revel
