You wouldn't believe how many people have to ask where it is. A shockingly high percentage of riders.


I got distracted with boat building obligations earlier in the day, but I'm using the heat this evening to work and putter on the car.

Quick release - installed. Feels good all tightened down. I was expecting slop, and was pleasantly surprised by the lack thereof....



Dusty carbon (cause I'm a THAT guy) release.

[/url]

Also roughly mounted the A pillar gauge pod. Now I can get and idea of what needs to be chopped/modified. Then it gets the flocking treatment.

I still need to find my horn button haha.

I'm heading back out now, just came in for a bite. I'll be attempting to play with the fusebox cover. We'll see how far I get.

Never been a fan personally, but after working in the wrap industry, I gotta give him props for it being REAL CF.

I thought ya had an old school wood steering wheel?

adding my .02.....which is worth two cents. lol
Less carbon. add wood trim. * even if its just wood steering wheel and trim pieces, like around the gauges, vents, etc.

Just imo- trim that's a dark red stain (on wood) with the carbon fiber sounds sexy to me. Add some detailed stained wood pieces to your carbon fiber. Find some awesome old school rivet wood steering wheel.

Yeah, believe it or not, unlike most, I use this material for its intended purpose - weight savings. That said, I do enjoy looking at it, but I'll honestly say the aesthetic appeal is only about 10-20% of my motivation. The reason a lot of my stuff is exposed, is simply because the way I produce these parts, they come out of the mold ready to use. No need to add extra weight of liquid coatings. Simply trim, and install. Another reason why I leave my carbon naked for the most part, is also because this car is also a demonstration as to what I can do for potential clients.

Long story short: I like how it looks, I LOVE what it does.

It was either Momo or Nardi. Max Papis does make a nice wheel though...

No worries, all comments and criticisms are welcomed. And yes, I do have the original (albeit they are faux) wood wheel. I will swap around, as my mood changes. However, I am running a mahogany shift knob. I agree, I really like wood as well. But, as I explained above, I use carbon because simply it is the lightest material that I can make these parts from. Given my skill set, it makes the most sense. I'm trying to keep this car as race oriented as possible. The only creature comforts I've kept are the underhood light, and my factory heat. Everything else is Function over form, with an emphasis on ease of maintenance. Good thought though, I almost ended up with a Nardi wood wheel. I appreciate the input.




More progress....

Drilling holes in virgin carbon.

Proportioning valve hole



I'm going to eventually make a little shift boot for the valve body.
