Finished gluing up the trailing edge this morning and took a brake. It was 4:20 and from the looks of it I won. I thought of a way to put a flap on it. Would make it adjustable form the cockpit. Mark will really like that.
Pic of the progress. All you can tell is that I added tape but it's where I put the glue that counts.

When it is dry enough to sand I will apply 2 layers of glass, sand it smooth, primer it and mount it back where it belongs. Can't wait to see it!

I have been working on the intake scoops. Building a form for the foam block shape. I had to do it twice because they are much longer than I thought. I tried to make it so I could disassemble it from around the foam after it is cured. The box is done and I am trying to talk myself into going for the pour. From the foam blocks I can make lefts and rights so really I am the only thing that is holding me back.

The block is done and I am happy. Rough sanded it looks awesome. My computer stopped talking to my camera so I can't post pics of what's going on. Sorry.

I'm really trying to get some pictures up but my my phone and computer stopped talking to each other. My laptop was always a piece of shit and is a '12. Surprised it worked this long, I dumped my ipone along time ago. No point in having something that takes 2 weeks for an appointment to get it an appointment to fix it.

OK, probably not the last time I'll try but hoping...

Kool, I love the shape, it's a little large but it hides part of the targa bar inside it.

This could be a total failure but I'll finish it and see if I still like it.

On going with the Cold Air Intake, I am getting close with the plug for the scoop.. l'm making a pattern for cutting the fiberglass cloth. Going to need a bunch of them, at least 12. 3 for each of the plugs and for the scoops.

I was thinking that I could make a scoop from thin aluminum from this but it would only come out all wrinkled and dented.

Had to drive her this morning. Rain got her bay flooded and I had to sweep out the mess. I can't help it but that always puts a smile on my face. Getting ready to try to get a better line on the trailing edge of the targa bar fairing.

Trying to work with my camera just to see what changes I can make to help with downloading.

Finally getting some detail of the trailing edge of the targa bar fairing. I have been trying to fill in gaps and air pockets and bring it to a point.

Attached Image

A few more layers of epoxy and some sanding and it should be good.

This is taking forever, so I'm in order for me to be able to get some visuals I'm going to make a change in the plans. I really want the fiberglass scoops but I want to see them while I can still drive. So I have a piece of aluminum that I was saving for something just about like this. It took me a few minutes to make it fit the pattern on and there's very little scrap material left over. It won't be pretty but it should give me prof of concept. And I can get on with making the car work. This is taking entirely too much time and I am only about half way there. It's like the plug needs glass, sand, fill, sand, jell coat, sand, polish, wax and buff. And then I can start to make the mold which will need all of that again. I think I can do all that later if I really hate the way the scoops look. And costs, it costs $130 for the foam to make a scoop and I need 2, also the glass cloth is $17 a yard and I need at least 12 more. Oh and don't forget the epoxy. I just hope that in aluminum it doesn't appear to be quick and dirty.
