Feels good. Beer time.

The holidays have really been getting in the way of work...Once the new year rolls in, then I'll once again be on a steady work regiment.

Updates:

Received the carbon, made another console. Finally the twill is what I would deem 'acceptable'.

Changing the geometry helped enormously.

First Insert - dusty.

Also, made another set of clamshells, as well as a trimming template to expedite that process a bit. Took only about one hour to trim both clamshell halves. Sure beats four hours.....





hoping to have a finished inner flange for the clamshells by Friday.

Then I can start making them look pretty.

Happy New Year all!

Good stuff!

Happy New Year!

Here's a random update so far.

I redesigned a new insert plug, because I wasn't thinking and the first one sucked. Haha.

If it weren't a blizzard out, I'd probably have that in duratec before the end of the day...Maybe the weather will let up...



Figured out the mounting points for the ashtray. ABS plastic extrusions are bonded to the underside. Threaded screws go into the ABS.

Ignore the obviously modified portion of my ashtray. My brake proportioning valve sticks up through my console, so that's why it is cut. (also the main reason I made this console to begin with)

Also note, this is the first console version with the messed up twill. It's the guinea pig.

Mocked in the car.

Lots of things are still happening.

And who knows? maybe a non composites related update here soon...One can only hope.

Unfortunately, composites don't make 'er go!

Some horrible, just sprayed, low light pictures in my usual fashion. Tomorrow, obviously, when it can be handled, I'll update the pictures accordingly.







Certainly an improvement. Made the dud console look decent. Nice.

Can't wait to spray something without defects.

are those seats purple?
