I could only wish it would fly now.........Home for 2 days, leaving tomorrow for 2-3 weeks for work With any luck I will finish sooner and get to be home for a little while.... But we will see. Next time I am home I will be going hard on getting this thing in paint. Its kind of holding up the project at this point.

Anyways on to the updates and pictures!

Neil prepped the back of the kirkey seats to be painted matte black so they blend in to the interior a bit better.


One done one to go


Test fit



The seat covers are black will hide the front side.

While he was fooling with that I made a mount for the C02 bottle behind the passenger seat







Next we moved to the trunk and pretty much got it all finished up other than yet to be ordered ice tank and Neil is getting the fire bottle filled so when he gets that back I am sure it will go in too.







The inter cooler fits in there so good, I think it is gonna look pretty clean when its all plumbed in. I also had to weld in new bungs for the fuel feed and drain, not sure on the size but it looks like you could hook up a fire hose!





I then moved onto fitting up the first charge pipe, Did some careful planning and cutting on the beauty panels, in hindsight we should have waited for coating until fitting up all the piping but its also nice to be all done now.









Neil snuck a shot in of me tig'in up the new v-band.





Lastly today we sorted out all the interior panels that are going to be re-used and test fit them quick. Neil is going to dye them all black and get em ready for install.



Thats all for now, see you all in a couple weeks....
