More activities at Bill's Speed Shop:
Okay, got a bunch of cool stuff snapped, downloaded, formatted and uploaded for all y'all's viewing pleasure:
First, last Tuesday - right before my surgery - when I didn't have a chance to update, I took the following:
Front left door, notice the gap between the footbox and the door panel
Same view, zoomed out
Right side view
Kind of a cool shot of the left rear
And the right rear
A slip-up... this panel is supposed to be 'minimum 8 inches', which means this 18 inch panel will slow me down like a sail
Another slip-up... I asked for a fuel flap door instead of a cut-out. I like the clean look of the flap and I don't like having to reach into that little hole to open up the fuel tank.
They said they would address the fuel flap, the 8 inch panel and the ignition box... and later when I called them about the gap between the foot box and the door, they said they'd take care of that, too.
Today when I went by, the fuel flap is being fixed, the ignition box is fixed and the footbox is now smoothly connected to the driver's side door. The rear panel will be trimmed down to 8 inches. Things are coming along nicely!!
So, today's pics:
The new nose and hood pieces
A slightly different view of the nose and hood
Nose, hood and door.. notice the big opening. This is the reason why the 18 inch panel on the rearend just won't do. The center of this car is just like a big wind tunnel
This is the fixed door gap area. You can kind of see all the lines and rivets around the roll cage bars where he had to patch together to cover the gap. It looks fine, from my perspective. That's just what you have to do to get around those roll cage bars.
Here's the new fuel cell door. It's being installed right now.
So, now all I'm waiting on is the fiberglass roof so they can put that on and build the window panels. That, and a few trim and clean activities and it should be done! They figure it'll be finished by the end of the week.
Okay, just a few more pics!
My latest package arrived - my new 38 lb. aluminum jack from Harbor Freight & Tools.
First, Ayla had to sniff it to make sure it was up to snuff, I guess.
Then it was Bubba's turn to sniff the jack-in-the-box. ... big scaredy cat. ;)
So here's the new jack!!! Doesn't it just LOOK fast? ;) Note: Ayla is unimpressed.
Slightly extended...
Okay, I hope you enjoyed the pics!
