Gotta love those Honey-do's! :-D
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

Well  I do no at have the complete hang of it but I am making progress---until ---I was implored to DIVERT---to installing a rear axle on a "DRIFT TRIKE"  seems like the "LONG BOARD" crowd has a new thing

Strip down a bike frame, get you some HF inflatable dolly wheels and an axle about 30-36" wide weld on the back of the bike frame  get some 4-5" sections of PVC schedule 40 that will fit over the deflated tires--  air them up inside the sections of PVC  weld a seat on the axle---WALLA  one has a drift trike---much like a big wheel

Go find a steep hill with curves and you have the makings of an adrenilin induced head trama--if you drift into the front bumper of an oncoming car or go over the side of the mountain at 45-60 MPH

CAM-LOCKS---while not being a cam-lock pro ---we have now done our first dozen  I am sure we used way to many but I bet the fuel door doesn't  as Bo Diddley said  "Blow in the Street" picts to follow.

Well, well, well---reality set in---we will not race if we don't work on the car---Marty came by, Joey is catching up, Good Guys is this weekend, Dave and John were over Tues and Wed. for several hours---my brain is getting back in the game---John and I spent some time yesterday on instrument cluster and chute release.  Last night I spent some time online studying water heaters  better know as intercoolers.  I sure like Rob's 2 pass thinking where will I find all the ROOM---his packaging is going to be outstanding!!!

Jon,  spent the last two sessions really just getting the car to the surface of my pea brain---

Joey and I should start on building and mounting the inst panel. Placing the gauges so that they are easy to scan and don't require much focal length change in ones instrument scan!! 

We have intentionally not used a full canopy trying to address a glare problem on can have at B'ville.  At El M If you run early the sun can be in ones face.

Picts will follow when we have something to show!!
