I've been meaning to ask about tire wear?.
Elmo vs Bonneville?.
Thanks.

[SPARKY]

as long as one doesn't employ circular braking and doesn't try for full course burnout neither one are too hard on tires 

[tauruck]

In that case I'm all good.
We'll leave the Track Bite at home.  

Thanks Sparky. Now let me go kill this keyboard!!!!!.

Modified the space bar big time.
This thing works better than when it was new.

Checkout Wavy, my engine cover buck!!!!.
I thing using the palm sander might be the problem.
Solution, elbow grease. Lots of water and a flat block.

[tauruck]

This part is a PITA.
The left side will get more layers of glass to prevent the sag between the ribs.
Impatient but pleased. It's progress.

[tauruck]

A good look at how bad it is.
Black guide coat works.
One more session and it should be right.

Oh my, do I have unkind memories of what you are going through, Mike. I could never make it as a body guy.

Say, do you have a drawing of what your liner will look like when completed? Sure would like to see it if you have one.

Body guy, me neither!!!!!!.
Has to be done. The trick is not to use too much pressure.
BUT you already know that, right?.

John,I posted renderings a few months back. I'll check and post the link.

Ignore the vertical Stabilizer. We did that for a good reason.

Working for the Portuguese guy (Manual Labor) sucks.
First pic taken at 10.31AM.
Block, soapy water and graft.

[tauruck]

Last pic taken at 11.15AM.
Not too shabby but I even had my shirt off
and it's really cold here. Not by "Freud's" standard.

I hate sanding but it beats mowing lawn.

Just for you John!!!!!. :-P

[tauruck]

Klingspor abrasives are tops!!!!!.
One half sheet and it's still cutting.
Getting there now.
Thanks Brent.

Mike, I just visited the link you posted with 3D images of your liner. WOW! I like the diffuser at back too. Very interested what Mark, your aero guy, sees air doing under the car to feed that diffuser. It will be a difficult task with a 38 foot long car. Also, at 33" tall (didn't say how wide), your frontal area should be better than reasonable. The top view looks good as well. This is going to be quite a sensation in SA when done (or anywhere, for that matter).

Black paint and sanding blocks; the final answer in finish sanding. Both are extremely effective but I have grown to hate them both. They cost me countless hours sanding, filling, sanding, filling some more. Then there is all the sanding dust that goes everywhere. Still have not cleaned up yet.

Thanks John. We're going to run skirts and the diffuser at 7*.
It's also 33" wide.
We'll see how she runs but I'm not one for testing. Therein lies
the problem.
I normally use air tools but this cover needed the block.
It's close now. The low spots aren't bad. I'll fill and give it a final
wet sand. I feel for you on the sanding but for me it's part of my
day job.

It's all good. Better than a desk job. I whine a lot but love my work.

[SPARKY]

  to the both of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
