Last one.

New engine cover.
I'm done with the engine bay braces.
I took them out and will move the front attachment points.
I have a pile of Elges (FAG) Spherical ends here with left and right hand threads.
I need my clevises milled out and once I cut them off they can go to the engineer next month.

Got some crazy stuff going on here.
This liner is cut and paste.
I have to splice parts.
I'm holding them together with Clecos and laminating between those on the surface.
When the resin is all cured I'll tape over the gaps, flip the parts over and laminate the inside
using more honeycomb and vacuum.

Also making the exhaust heat shields. Got a template done that works on both sides if you flip it over.
I'll have to put a radius on the steel so it matches the Carbon.

Media savvy top powertool sales director says I won't get the corporates without a media presence.

The title needs to sell what it is & where it is. "South African Streamliner Land Speed Record Car."

Will it be the fastest car ever built in South Africa if you hit your goal? Maybe a title like that? From what I know about youtube, the editing is the hardest part, even for people naturally good on camera and/or good at filming. Consider paying for editing help if you're going to make a big youtube push. I wish forum member and youtube legend superfastmatt would chime in with tips on this.

Yes it will. Weird thing is I have someone who can do all the editing who won't charge a cent. Actually I'm so short right now I'm glad it's Lent.
Thanks man. You guys always have the best advice.

Mike's movie studio!!!!.

No fancy tripod/camera holders.
Got a 12mm bar on a base with a 19mm tube over it with a height adjuster.

Tested and it's good for static stuff. Maybe I'll teach the lens to follow me?.

THE WORLD'S FASTEST AFRICAN. The Springfield Flyer.
