Looking good, Rob!

I'm going to be around for a couple of days, at the end of next week. It's been a while since we chatted-you up for some company for a couple of hours?

Had good day today. Worked on solidworks for tooling for intake ducts and released the dxfs to the waterjet.
Made a block off plate for the iac motor in the throttle body. Then made (4) out of the (7) dry sump lines.
We hope to be able to fire the engine and test trans and rearend within about two weeks, Lord willing.

Rob, it was great seeing you again! The car is more impressive in person than on this build thread!

I can't wait to see it on the salt!

The compliments that you receive on the build are impressive.

The speed with which you have done it is  A M A Z I N G.

Good Job.

It doesn't feel like its going very fast for me. I'm depressed about our progress. Work has picked up and is really cutting into our liner progress but Praise the Lord, we have work! Could be the other way around. Everybody that has done this before knows that the little details will kill us if we don't stay diligent through the next couple months.

Btw, thanks for all the compliments from everybody.
It has been a real blessing that so many guys from the board have actually come by the shop for a visit.

Other news-
The SCTA tech committee approved our 21" dia solid front tire design with the only stipulation that we come up with an acceptable program to inspect wheels between runs and events. This is a big hurdle. I will be releasing the drawings to a suitable machine shop this week. Raw material will be over $500 a piece. Ouch.
This week we finished plumbing the oil system, removed all tanks and cleaned them inside and out, made a new lower profile vent system for the fuel tank, finished plumbing the intercooler including mounting and wiring waterpumps, and got the wiring to about the 75% point. Javier has the machine work about 95% done with the front suspension pieces.
Tomorrow I plan to finish the exhaust and test the oil system / set the pressure with bypass valve.
Hope to fire engine on Tuesday, Lord willing.

I will put a post together soon with pics showing body progress and how we did it.
Small milestone today. We have a working oil system!

I thought I remembered you saying aluminum billets?
Any way you can rig a portable zyglo set-up?  Maybe in a blocked off area in the corner or tapered nose of the trailer?

One thing that may be an easy nondestructive test of the wheels would be to to get an audio signature on each wheel by striking it lightly with a ball peen hammer. Any small crack would change the tone. This may even be able to be done without removal from the car but it is a long shot. I bet there is an app out there for an iPhone that might do this for us. Brandon come up with this and I think it is a good idea.
