Dean the way I see it is that the front wheel fairings, now they are each in 3 pieces, and the rear fairings will be composite.
I know on the front that there is the piece in Frank's hand in the
www.target550.com website, post 01-08-2011, image 087_007.
Then, as I remember, the piece behind the wheel will be two pieces. I suppose you may be able to answer your own question if u
go back far enough in one of the two build diaries.
In
www.target550.com the post of 11-26-2010 has shots of the front fairing. Go to image 072_08 and you can see the split down the length
of the fairing. The two pieces attach to different parts of the car. One to the belly pan and the other to an outside panel.
The rear fairings have not been designed yet so I can't comment on them. I can say that in
www.target550.com the post of 09-10-2010, images 057_01
thru 057_07 shows the method that the rear fairings will be designed.
As soon as the front pieces are formed I will show them. There will be aluminum ones formed for the rear and they will be the male molds.
Jason has most of the rear panels finished. When they are ready to be attached the work on the rear fairings can start unless some
other portion takes priority. In the post for 01-15-2011 on
www.target550.com I will show some detail information on the panels that cover the rear wheels.
Work is at a stand still on both sides until several small pieces come back from the anodizing shop. They will be riveted in place and then the panels can be finished.
In a week there are 12 man days of work unless the weather makes it difficult to get to Humes. Jason lives in eastern Washington and has to go
over 4300' Stevens Pass. Snow has no respect for the Treit/Davenport streamliner build schedule. Sometimes Jason gets to work a little late following
his weekend at home.
If you want to watch a webcam 24/7 go to
www.phoebeallens.com. She built the nest and incubates the eggs all day every day.
Don't hold your breath for a web cam in Hume's shop. If they ever install one I'm done doing fotos. I want no one to see how inept I really am.
Thanks for following this project and thanks for asking realistic questions. We appreciate the interest.
There is a chance that we will have a question and answer session by the build crew of this car at the Bonneville NW Reunion, Friday night, Feb 18th at
the Shilo Inn, Portland Airport property.
