(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) We got progress. The printer is up and printing parts. The bell is really nice but we're still working on it. I have been gathering parts and trying to figure out where to put the hoses and the the thermostatic controller. I still need hose and a few connectors but I am getting close. Going to need something to protect the box from the muffler heat and still need to cover the box with fiberglass. So I have a long ways to go.

This is not my idea as Jim Hall and Hap Sharp had used the idea of taking the air out of the back of the car on the Chaperral 2J which was deemed illegal as it required a separate engine and me of course I am making an oil cooler. That car could lower the body 2" running the fan motor at 7K RPM. And was reported to go up to 25 MPH under the power of the fans alone.

I hear the compressor calling me. It just turned itself off. Been running for around 3 hours and it's not keeping up with me. I'm cutting the holes for the exhausting air from the oil cooler.

Wow, 30,004 views. I'm taking way to much time to do this. I should have finished this long ago.
Today while I was cutting the vent holes in the back panel my compressor quit. It came to a screeching halt. So I broke out the back up and tried to give it a chance. She didn't last 10 minutes it was down below 40#. So I quit for the day and now I'm having dinner at The Saint John's River Grill. I finally am making progress and it feels good...

I have another compressor just waiting to be wired, along with some other equipment that is in need of power. So I reverted back to 20 volts. The Millwakie grinder cut 4 times as fast as any of my pneumatics stuff. I have a patch to make, center of the trunk lock. Right now I am working on the screens as they are not anywhere near flat.

I always have to tell myself that this is just a race car and it only has to look good at 20'.

Thanks Bud, end of the day.

Tomorrow I'll start the cleaning of the holes and patch the center hole. I should be ready to weld.

I have been trying to recover from my back being out and a head cold but the New Year is upon us and I tend to be able to get some energy from that. So with the new compressor and welder powered up I have a new learning curve coming at me. The machine is a Miller Multimatic 220. It has Arc, Mig, Tig and a spool gun. Which I have never seen in use. It should be fun figuring out how it all works. It switches automatically between Mig and Tig by triggering the the gun or stepping on the foot pedal. And the only other thing I know about it is that it has power. I'm going to hook up the wire feed first cause I need to do the patch from the trunk lock and tack in the grills in. Then I can locate the radiators and install the brackets. At that point I will be able to start making up the hoses.

Sounds like a sweet welding setup, had to google that. MIG and TIG in one machine, hadn't heard of that before. Now I'm jealous!

Thanks Scott, I was using the MIG today practicing spot welding so I can weld in the grills on the oil cooler. This machine is much easier than my Lincoln 100 and does a much clearer weld. Almost makes me look good.

I have not tried the TIG as of yet but the change from TIG to MIG with out going to the machine is really neat. Miller has been making the 220 for about 3 years now so there are probably some options I don't know about. After I bought my Lincoln mig I became a Miller fan but I should have bought a larger plasma cutter.
I like the adjustable of the 220 because I get settings from the machine and can slow it down or speed it up depending on how it is working. Can't wait to try the spool gun.
I ordered material for the flat bottom today. I know, I know, off on another tangent. I have mentioned this before and I know that this will only lead me to something else like a defuser but there is more stuff in the way of completing the car. Right off the top of my head is rear axle hub to hub and the front suspension is not finished. I need to move her from the trailer to the garage for some grinding and welding hopefully I can get all of that done today.

Picture is only here to get me to move the car. Welder doesn't reach out here.

Back in the trailer again.

The grills worked out fine l really like the spacing. The box still needs some work. The hose is ordered but I'm still counting connectors.

Almost ready to make up the hoses.

I still need 2 more fittings but I'm not sure what they are yet.
Might have to put in some 90's° in the corner of the trunk.
Ordered the 90's° and the fittings, it will be a few days.
