I'm all for it, Joe ... just want to make sure you don't poke your eye out in the process (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

I wished you were still in So Cal, or at least closer than FL ... really miss hanging out in your garage.

Carry on ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

No sweat buddy, I have to go out there in September and I will probably be there for a week. I think I'll be driving and I like 40 so where are you going to be in mid September?

Back to screwing around. I screwed the pivot arm to the backing plate and wing through the backing plate. Still waiting for the 3/8" x 24 flathead screws for the wheel axel. I want everything to be counter sunk.

Scewing the pivot arm to the back plate I counter sunk them on the backside of the plate to avoid taking more material out of the arm and possible making a weak spot.

Would you believe it, I'm 71 today…

More of the same today. Got the hardware on the left side of the wing screwed in.

The wing is now holding itself up without the brackets being screwed to the body.

I haven't had much time for Carerror lately. I did some stuff on the wing yesterday and today. Finding the length for the of the wire that will pull the wing back down when it gets bumped up.

This is only the mock up to get the correct length of the wire and will be replaced with wire rope.

Still working on the lenght of the wire for the return spring. Haven't been out in the garage much lately except to feed the kittens that invaded my shop about 2 weeks ago. I guess it's more comfertable than the rest of the world. There are feral and I now have a cat box and cat food and water in the shop. I went out to take a pic of the new spring and wire and the cats posied for me instead of doing their normal thing of running off and hiding.

Haven't tried to handle them yet but there are not as afraid of me now. I just needed to post something on here cause I am totally guilt tripping about not keeping up with my viewers, almost 10,000 now.

Well I finally got the length worked out for the pull cable. So you get some pics of the minuscule amount of progress that I have made. Whis this was the only thing that I have giong on. Getting about 100 viewers a day I feel like I should be showing more progress for you guys.
Pictures of the wire and spring at static and with a 9" block under the wing so the spring is at full stretch.

I don't think that the wing will ever get lifted that far but the block was close and it fit under the wing when I lifted it for the picture.

Today I spent a lot of time cleaning the car for pictures for a new post coming probably tomorrow as I get to over 10,000 viewers here. Amazing, that is a hole bunch of people watching what I am doing to this poor car. Speaking of that, I have a very big grip on what I want to do for the cold air intake. Just takes me a while to figure it out. More tomorrow.

I'm about to start the rear wing and the Cold Air Intake on Carerror. I didn't care much about the weight of the front of the car as she still had some push in the her. I put a few extra layers of fiberglass on its nose of the wing to protect her from when cones jump out in front of her. So in order to try to keep within the basic balance of the car I can see the need to make a wing for the rear of the car. This one hopefully will never come in contact with a cone so it can be built lighter. The front wing weighs in at 11 pounds. Now we get to see how light I can make a wing. Fiberglass over foam board on foam forms with an aluminum spar. Going to use the same shape as the front wing which should give me about the same amount of down force on the rear of the car.

Attached Image

I ordered a hole box of the foam board because of another project that I want to do. Wings for a vertical wind mill.

I bought a brand new vertical axis wind turbine from a guy on facebook marketplace for $60. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Gonna install it on my camp trailer (when it's parked - camping) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Well there it is, 10,004 viewers. That's just really awesome. If I could just work on Carerror all the time I could make a You Tube channel. That would be pretty boring. Anyway I hope to do some more stuff to her that is off the wall. Thanks for all the attention. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Building the plugs for the Cold Air Intake, these are for the intake scoop.
Some of my wildass dreams do turn into a total failure.
