Great thread. What is the status of this build? Just about to pick up my first hydrostream resto project. This thread was inspiring

The status remains the same. There's nothing i can do to the hull in the winter as its outside in an unheated portable shelter.

Great progress! What do you plan to finish it with? Why take all the gel off?

Half the clearcoat was gone, and the remaining was badly UV damaged. I hated the colour anyways.
Hopefully I'll be spraying new gel. I wasn't sure about the science of spraying gelcoat over older metalflake, so I just figured i'll just strip it all off and spray the bare surface. Orbital sanding with 24-grit pads. Will be a good rough surface for gel to bond to.
This is the new 2020 Toyota Tundra in Voodoo Blue. I'd like to get as close to this as possible.

I like that blue! Make sure to put lots of flake in it.

I had a kid, so no.
