Cool. So are the 'hinges' there so you can fold the assembly up over the front trunk?

The hinge is to keep from doing damage to the car when the wing gets slammed by some drainage gutter or bump on course. The wing is only 2" off the ground and I have seen cars with their front wheels off the ground from uneven payment. This morning I got the spring worked out for the power to pull the wing back down when it gets bumped.

That's better.

I worked on the wires until I got board then I started to do the targa bar fairing. The wires are looking really good but at one time I got burned out working on them continually and haven't been able to work on them for months. I have some Fiberglass work to do also. So maybe by changing up the projects I'll be able to avoid burnout.

So I have been working on the wire looms doing heat shrink and there is little reason to take pictures because as you progress the colors disappear. Got the license plate light wire done.

So, in essence, you're saying you had wiring issues that were 'looming' ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Yes this is a Looming event. Only have under the dash to go. Already sorted into 3 groups and ready for heat shrinking.

Hopefully I can finish this tomorrow.

Are you going to wrap the harness(es) in some of that corrugated split loom stuff ... or ?


I started on some electrical wiring stuff today too ... in the trailer though - the 120VAC part. Installed and wired up a small breaker box, transfer switch and a 3kW (RMS) power inverter. Will get the outlet boxes and Romex and run tomorrow, then on to the DC/solar stuff ...

... also installed a slide-out A/C unit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

Pulled the dash apart to expose the next to the last of the wires need attention. The last wires will be the ones in the front trunk, the headlights and the turn signals.

Going to order some new gauges for her in the morning.

i really want to clean her but in a few days I'm just going to do some more sanding and she will just wind up just like she is again. Oh and yes, the LN-1 is coming out. For the life on me I could not remember what I had done to hold the dash face to the top of the dash. Duck tape, I had put the dash in place, marked it, turned it up-side down and taped the face to the dash top, the inside corners of the dash were held in by the dash top and the door panel. The dash top was held down by the mirrors. The interior looked incomplete until I made up the inside corners and put them in.

OK. Here we go again. Now that I have the dash apart I think it is time to do some other stuff that I was thinking about. Like the seat and the targa bar. For a while now I have been thinking about a cold air intake for Carerror. But I am getting ahead of myself.
l would like to thank this board for all the input that you guys have given me. Pushed me Right out of my comfort zone and brought out more creativity than I knew that I had in me.

Making a cold air intake makes the rear view mirrors useless. The mirrors hold the dash in place. i need to make up some sort of bracket to move the mirrors out word. something swopy I hope.

So the other day I was checking out some you-tube stuff about F1. I saw a vid about the differences between Hamilton's 18 and 19 rides. One of the things they pointed out was the point at the top of the roll hoop that they pick up broken cars with. use to be like a cross, Now it is in the shape of a teardrop with yellow caution lights on it that tells everyone do not touch the car as the car is charged.
I'd like to thank Scott for the inspiration about the front wing and for being correct about the targa bar fairing.

Patterns.

Got a lot done today, just about ready to install the switches. All the wires except the dash are in heat shrink. Whats left is the lights on the dash, Tach, Idiot lights, Oil pressure gauge, Oil temp gauge, high beam and the turn signal indicators and the shift light.

All that extra lights and stuff not needed for a sub 1600 pound A/X ax is there so when I get busted for driving her on the streets I'll at least be legal.

Do you really need the cold air intake to stick out on the side of the car?
I'm guessing you wont run a rear windscreen so why not just put the scoop between the seats under or above the targa bar?
