So we go fishing today.
Gear is ready.
Progress on the car's been slow.
My styrene plug for the nose section is as rough as a polar bear's a$$.
If I had to do it over I'd have used a solid block of material instead of ribs
with sheet bonded over, the high spots are horrendous. No turning back
but hopefully next week will bring new enthusiasm.
Good news is that AEG Power Tools are coming on board with sanding machines.
I'm now the "official" composites guy for Aston Martin, McLaren and Rolls Royce.
Some serious work to be done but I learned a lot.
That bumper repair I lost was not from a dealer car but an aftermarket one.
The customer wouldn't pay for the OEM version so imported a cheapie.
First job for McLaren is to replace accent pieces with red Carbon. There are a lot
of components on the cars and according to my supplier I'll be the only guy in SA with the fabric.
Yesterday was meeting after meeting. Geez, all I wanted to was build a liner.
81 units sold this financial year and by the look of the owners I saw at the dealers I'll be busy.
These businesses are all the same. Hot little honeys in the showroom wearing business suits,
coffee, tea and cake all over. Smelled like a Hugo Boss outlet with all the cologne wafting through the place.
I know that side better than they do. 14 years I spent in that BS enviroment.
Check the sample red stuff.
