No problem...

The engine parts just sold on eBay so now I can order the new heads! Very Cool!

I have been picking away at the van stuff... It's been so FREAKIN" hot here it is almost unbearable!
Last weekend I would work for a half hour and then head into the house to change my shirt and cool off. Pretty ridiculus. The yard thermometer read 108 in my back yard.
This weekend wasn't as bad but if you weren't working directly in front of the fan you were pretty uncomfortable...
Anyway, I got the doghouse pretty well along last weekend. It is all glassed and there is a skim coat of Bondo on most it to start smoothing. Really won't take much from what I am seeing...
First coat. I knocked this down with a cheese grater. Quick and leaves a good surface for skim coats.

This is how it sits now. I will DA this smooth and then flow on a coat of resin to make a smooth surface for the carbon fiber.

The pass. side. Not a lot of filler here. I was really surprised how well the t-shirt material worked to smooth this off during lay-up.

We worked on few things this weekend, the shifter housing, the left front wheel house and the seat mounting brackets. The seat brackets are being redesigned to better carry the "load"... Mel made a jig board that the sliders bolt to'

We decided to cut the original mounting ears off the sliders and make our own out of 3/16ths x 2" angle.

The angle will weld to the sliders and span the gap between them, essentially making the sliders one piece... I will have to order some angle, didn't have any on hand that size.
The front wheel house was pretty straight forward. Had to do some tack welding and make a piece to plug the large hole left after moving the old housinng inboard 3 inches.

I'll clean up the surface rust before it gets welded in.
This is from underneath.
