Now we will keep adding the rest of the sensors and neaten up the wiring. Still a big job but it will get simpler as we go.
The engine will need to come out before Eric gets here with the body.

Not quite as much fun as usual as this engine has already run in Vinny.
I can tell you that this thing is loud!

Not quite as much fun as usual as this engine has already run in Vinny.

And Vinny ran very well at Maxton  
Can't wait to see what it will do in this car.

Hi Ian

Trying to sand the inside of the foam mold would drive you nuts before you ever got it done, the sandpaper corners  would be diging into the foam all the time.

Sanding on the outside of the foam master the corners of the paper are off the surface, plus you can get down low to the surface and sight down it and see how you doing for the hi's & low's'

Hi Ian. Thanks for the compliments.
Yes, you can do the body the way you described. It is just a bit harder to sand internal compound curves. Also it is a little harder to visualize.

Makes total sense, will stick with, plug to mold to body.... thanks guys,
Look forward to the finish...... Good to hear it start congrats.....

Productive night tonight!
Randy and Chris worked on wiring by eliminating all unused wires in the FAST xfi harnesses and wired up the egt gauge.
Ted and Jon worked on the molds for the air inlet ducts and got them to about the 50% mark.
Ray and Matt worked on exact placement of waste gates and started cutting and fitting the 2" stainless tubing.
Dave welded up the stinger and it looks great as always when Dave welds on it.
I cooked the dinner (pulled pork sandwiches and veggie tray) then ran around the shop like a chicken with head cut off. LOL!
Tomorrow, actually this morning, I will head up and visit Buddy on his rig. Better quit typing and get a couple hours sleep.

Keep feeding them like that and you'll be fighting off the volunteers!!!!
