We have such a great team of people here. By far our greatest asset! I feel bad that Brandon can't be here. He will be back in a couple of days.

I'm envious in a nice way. It's good that you have a great crew. I can't even get motivation from buddies over here.

Worked on the body retaining features today. Engineered, drawn and released.
There will be no external fastener until after the canopy. Should take less than 5 min to remove entire nose section.
We are now in the middle of stripping car back down to bare frame for body mounting. We need to reach through from opposite sides of the car to fit up each halve. Sort of hard to do with engine and turbos in the way.
Sorry, no good pics today.

In the photos you had the body in two halves. Are you bonding the front sections and having the rear split down the middle?.

Thank you! There are many, many...too many hours in that tray. Still needs a little cleanup but we'll take care of that when we transfer it to the permanent aluminum tray.

Can't wait to see this again!
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

You can't make a race horse out of a pig. But if you work hard enough at it you can make a mighty fast pig. - Bob Akin

After both halves are bonded together, we will cut the front half off at the firewall which is behind the drivers seat. Then we will cut a new parting line at the belt line from firewall back. Then cut one more parting line behind the fuel filler neck creating a separate panel over the engine which will be the service panel.

Had to remove engine, trans etc to mount the body.
Took about 3 hours at moderate pace.
