Thanks again, got the first hose done really is satisfying to see even though you won't be able to when it's complete.

I did the smallest one because if I screwed it up it wasted the least amount of hose. The 90's and 4 straight connectors should be here today. So if all goes well I believe that I can make up the hoses all the way to the thermostat. That'll leave me just 2 hoses left but I still have no idea what to expect for there termination.

I am truly sorry about being absent from the most important thing in my life. The car and of course All y'all. I have been in and out of bed for the last 3 weeks and I seem to be able to start back to life again.
At my worst my brother brought a home self test kit. Which turned out to be my turning point. For sure because when I opened the instructions and just got confused, so looking at the instructions as I couldn't comprehend them so then I turned them right side up and was no less confused. Call to my buddy Josh. He just laughed and 15 minutes later we are waiting for results which came out negative.
Nothing to do but go forward....
I guess the next thing is to primer the grills and do the hoses in the back of the car.
It feels good just to be sending this.

Gaining some ground on the fun stuff feels really good. But all of this is probably going to be interrupted. Today I am going to see if I can fix a smoker and see if I can make it work. If I can make it work correctly I may go to work there as a BBQ cook. My BBQ chicken is done in 1:45. You can be early but don't be late.

So I actually did something to the car today. I bent the cover to the air box on the oil cooler.

Ordered another 100 rivets.
Tried bending an edge flange for the side. I'm happy.

@914 Ranch

Coming along. Nibbler was nice to get close and finish with the wiss. Can't say how many times those crescent moon nibbles got me, they end up in some of the most peculiar places. Have fun Joe!

Number 3 should be done in the early AM. So l should have all 4 by 4:20 tomorrow afternoon. I ordered a circle cutter for the fans holes today and it should arrive by Tuesday. It's so nice to have progress on this.

3 of the 4 bells and the last one is in the printer now. It will be done sometime around 5pm today. The propeller on the last bell on the right is installed and clearanced. I can't wait to hear all 4 of these babies pushing air.

I still need hardware to mount the motors to the bells and the bells to the plenum.

That printing is very cool. I would have been baking PVC pipe for the flare and sanding it down thin. Would have been done by August. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Yeah, I could never have made up the bell. I could have done the tube but after that I'm done. Sure it took some time to sort out the machine but it got done and I am happy.
The propeller touches some spots on the wall of the tube. Same place on all of them. So I'm cleaning up the surfaces with a file. Oh and breaking the lip at the bottom of the bell. Just like you were porting them.

I hope you can see this.

They look awesome! I think that is probably the best thing about printing your parts. Where mine would function, yours will look factory. Next time emboss your own made up 914 part number on it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Finished up the end caps on the air box. I have all the rivets and have done lay out but I am expecting some new tools on Friday, They should make cutting the holes easy and do precise lay out for the rivets and screws.

Wow, this is a milestone for me. And I finished installing the last bell at 4. That's 4 bells for me. I still have to cope in the air box around the tail lights and clean up the box but once that's done I get to finish the hoses.
