A little derusting duty today.
We used a little muratic acid in the shop the other day and everything rusted to a light tinge of brown.



Good product!

WOW!!!!!           What Awsome Packaging!!!!

[superleggera]

have you put it on the scales yet to get corner weights? (dry/wet)

Keep posting updates -- innovative build and I like the out-of-box thinking.

Rob, the masses are already starting to get impatient!   
Man, it's starting to look good.............. and fast.

You have to be happy with the Rob, it looks brilliant.
The main tank is structural by the look of it?
Are the pneumatic front tyres staying?

I'm keen to pass the hat around to buy Blue a camera......

Thank you very much.
I am getting exited now but I will feel better when we get it running and moving under its own power.

The main tank is structural by the look of it? Yes, much  so.

Are the pneumatic front tyres staying?
Yes and no. I would like to have a set of pneumatic tires for testing at other venues but Bonneville will only be solid aluminum rollers.

I'm keen to pass the hat around to buy Blue a camera......
Blue has a camera and has taken many pictures, you guys just need to put the pressure on him to put together his montage along with the explanations of the steps. You know everything he does is over the top so I'm sure it's just a time thing.

Rob,
It is really starting to look like a race car!!! You have done a ton of work in the last few months, really hammering out the details. Like Sparky said "Great packaging"!!!!!! Just like everyone else I can't wait to see it with the body.

Thank you.
We have not put it on the scales yet but we simulated how much weight will be in the tanks to find the center of gravity. Then we used that info along with the 3d printed model to ensure aero stability.

Last night Brandon figured out how we could get the FAST Dashlogger  to control the "flap down" indicator light.
We started working on this issue back in the summer. We knew how we wanted the FAST Dashlogger to handle this task but couldn't quite get it to work.
Brandon figured it right out in a couple hours and we are good to go.
Basically the Dashlogger will compare front wheel rpm to the 10k pot (0-5v)  in the linear actuator and let us know via indicator light when it needs adjusted.
Also we worked out the design details for the upper and lower rad hoses (welded aluminum tubing bends and straights w silicone couplers) and ordered everything we needed from Frozenboost.com
This vendor has been pretty good so far and I recommend them for aluminum and stainless tubing. They are very inexpensive.
 Woolf aircraft is also very good. They have higher quality stuff but a bit pricier.
Both have been very good about filling orders correctly and shipping it fast.

Probably not Loring.

We fitted up the "stinger" last night.
Bracing is not on yet. Needs the bracing to protect the rearend from any accidental side loading.
