And the first application of the surface coat. I'll be tossing another coat on this morning, and hope to at least start laying up by the afternoon.

Already bought him out with 23 Dollars, 6 kit kat bars and a half empty bottle of Pepsi.

Sorry m8

Edit -- To be completely honest. I threw in a figernail cleaning kit. I'm pretty sure that's what sealed the deal.

Haha! Thanks dudes! Also, not gonna lie, fingernail cleaning kit would really come in handy. :D


My birthday was a good day. Got to relax, worked a little, and spent most of the afternoon on the water.

The little work I did put in went to laying up the dash mold.

Scrap glass pieces hodge podged together with carbon bits in key areas.

Remember, the mold will almost definitely have to be destroyed, or chopped, in order to release the part, so there was no point in going crazy with quality on this. Kind of like the plug.

She isn't much of a looker, at least the B side that is. :laugh:




So once cured. I flipped the plug/mold combo over, and began to separate the plug from the mold....

As Johnny Cash would say, "one piece at a time."

Looks like we've got something to work with. Great!








I'm pleased. Onward!

Carbon dash, here I come.

Been busy the last few days. Getting organized, ordering parts, cleaning/refreshing pieces, fabrication, wiring...you know...The usual.

Rear brakes are in the mail, somewhere between here and California. Can't wait for those. In the meantime, I'll continue the pace.
