Rob,
Was that the new engine or the old mule?

I think that car will move more than 3000 fans. I'm moved. :wink:

Some assembly required!

The 496 is dyno'd and ready to go. Now we can put the 540 cid together as our "spare".

Jesel makes such nice stuff! There is a reason why it is so expensive. In the long run, it's actually cheaper.

This winters project will be to put the Carbiliner on a diet. We are making new rear fairings that will be half the weight and stiffer than existing units. They will also allow for more tire growth. We got the plug done back in the spring and Ryan has finished mold. It looks fantastic. Hope to save about 70lbs each.

He does such nice work!

We are currently working on getting our 540 cylinder head issues resolved and getting that engine buttoned up. BMF is actually making us another set of heads and transferring all our good hardware onto them.

Next stop for this car is the IMTS show in Chicago from 9/8 to 9/13. This should be fun!

Rob,

What are your plans for running the rest of the year? I don't see you listed as an entry for the shootout. Will you be making the journey out for the World Finals or maybe I should say the Second attempt at Bonneville Speed Week?

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

That tool for the fairings is a nice piece Rob.

I like that you left a generous lip around the edge for attaching the vacuum bag and the box makes for a sturdy platform when laminating.
Buy the mold maker a beer. :cheers: :cheers:
