I'm finally starting to be able to get some things accomplished.
Got my rear axle shortened and finished the axle adjusters. My buddy Glen cut off the new forks by 4" and made new end caps. I rebuilt them and got them mounted. I still have to drill and tap one of the sliders to accept the larger RS125 front axle.
Today I scored 4 3"x4'x8' sheets of nice, carvable foam off Craigslist for $50. A good deal and they will work great for the body buck.
At long last I was able to get the upper body shape plotted and cut out. My buddy Dave sent me the measurements to mark it onto one inch grids (while vacationing in Malta, no less!). I used a naca-021 shape but narrowed it about 2 1/2". I'll use the same shape for the lower body but it will end with a naca 66-021 type tail because I can't get my knees and feet into the 021 shape. Such is life.
Hopefully, I can get the buck done in about 2 weeks.
There's a faint light at the end of this tunnel.
