I put the plug on the ground for a better look.

The tip needs to be radiused.

I did some work on the engine cover/cowl in between the other work.

Its coming along and if I never see Styrofoam again it will be too soon.

The shop floor is a mess but that's how I roll.

Saturday is clean up day.

I tripped and put two nice holes in it.

Been chasing the rooster again?

Looks good! At first it reminded me of a model dinosaur kit with all the flat cross panels. I like the long taper to the canopy. Excited about seeing your ideas on the sides and tail of the body. 

Keep after it. Hey maybe you should get a hen for the rooster to keep him out of your stuff!

Building the way I do is not for impatient people.

Patience and Perseverance. (I'm not the best with the first part, but dam hard headed about the second part).

Mike:

Its taking shape, I cannot wait to watch how this converts to the real shell.

I just hope all of the above pan out.

This is a war of wills.

At present building the car is the easier part of my life.

You hear guys say they "worked" hard to get to Nirvana.
Imagine ducking snipers just to get to work every day.

I'm being bombarded over here on personal/private stuff but they won't win.

From day one you imagine what the car will look like and no amount of imagination, drawing or other medium will satisfy.

I've taped a few more sheets of foam in place along with the already bonded sections.

Now I know why they call them long cars.

More angles.

[tauruck]

Two more pics.

I need to get this out there.

[tauruck]

More of the foam buck.

I have a way to go but I'm happy with the rough outline.

   Mike,
  Excellent progress. Wish I could be there to ride "shotgun". Tolerating Winter over here might not be so bad after-all. Snipers?

[Tman]

Really looking good!

[Skip Pipes]

Stunning work.

More of the foam buck.

I have a way to go but I'm happy with the rough outline.

Happy?  I would be ecstatic if anything I made looked half as good.

Nice vision Mike.  Impressive......

[tauruck]

Thanks guys.

You know I always appreciate the encouragement from all of you.

Doug, I get sniped here at home.

Schaeffler delivered the front wheel bearings last Friday. Limiting speed 11,900 RPM. We'll definitely test those to their limit.

I'll be taking them to Geraldo so he can finish machining the hubs and stub axles.

Rear outer wheel rims (18 x 6) are on the way and I'm getting 8. I need 4 but it doesn't hurt to have extra.

15s are proving to be a little more difficult to source but stressing hasn't helped before so I'll be patient.

Body work is coming along and Epoxy resin is also on the way.

Pneumatic lifts are ready for delivery I'm told.

I'm not the only one with salt fever in the house.!!!!
