sir.... that there is fucking sexy

if i didnt build a dash of of aluminum for the bronco that took me way longer than im proud to admit, id make you take a week off and come build me one

Appreciate it broseph. Nothing wrong with aluminum. Shit is tough work, no doubt.



So the shell is officially mounted for the first time. No wiring. No heater stuff hooked up, but that all actually seems doable now that it is in place.

Very promising. Here's a barrage of photos, trying to show various angles.

Fender welting divider.

Driver's side should tuck up in there after I bond the appropriate spot to the frame. The shell has little support, currently, in this area.







I'll need to bond a couple spots, while it is mounted, to get the fitment correct.

A couple more cuts and some goop away from flocking.

I can't wait.

Lookadat!

Distributor "cap" proof of concept.






I'll mount it this evening, as I plan to do the final bonds tonight. Then I practice some flocking tomorrow.


I'll hopefully attempt to flock the top this weekend.

Made one of the final bonds tonight. If all goes according to plan, that will allow me to pull the dash back, and make the last two bonds ever. Then it's ready to flock.


And I installed the distributor "cap".

Lovely. Fits like a glove.

I've missed looking at the engine....:( soon...soon.






Hopefully I will practice a little flocking tomorrow. We'll see.

Progress nonetheless. Good.

Going snowboarding tonight, so the flocking practice won't happen..... But tomorrow, I intend on going into the shop to finish up the dash bonds. If I get lucky, I'll flock it tomorrow evening as well.


Follow up on that newest console I was making.

It turned out to be the best one we've ever made. So.... it looks like production has officially started with these. Great news. So glad all my changes have finally paid off.

Finished pictures of that coming tomorrow.


And after seeing the interior mocked together, with all the carbon, I pulled the trigger on this. I just HAD to. It's going to look so good.



Prototipo

Quick peek before I head out the door. Love the feel and the weight in hand. Much lighter than the stock wheel.




Originally, I was not going to swap the wheel, and use my customized OEM, which I still can swap to if I feel like it, but the Momo will be much more practical for my more spirited of drives/track events. I'm definitely keeping both and anticipate swapping between wheels often, depending on my mood.

Gonna be sweet!

Big day.


Made the final bonds. Used divinycell PVC foam core, and bonded the remaining flimsy areas of the frame to the appropriate places on the skin.

And made the remaining cuts now that the skin was geometrically stable.





Nothing left to do but flock it.

Let's practice!
