I should be finished with this tonight, when it's done I'll take a picture with one of the old ones just for the smiles.

The other one is ready for fitting.

I cut foam board templates for the plexiglass tops.
I am jazzed with the way that these came out.
Excuse me but they look TITS...

Deatailng the new plenums this evening, laying out the hardware and filing all the edges on all of the pieces. As all the aluminum always has an edge that seems to know I cut easy.

Attached Image

Should be finished tomorrow. I decided to mount and wire the barometer sensor in the center of the plenum. I'd rather unplug a wire than disassemble the plenum to use the sensor somewhere else.

Been trying to get something done but I just seem to be in the way. I'm happy with the new plenums and the install is going well also.

Attached Image

I'm batting better than 500 on the pictures. But that's only after the editing.

Looking good! Can’t tell fro the pic, looks like you’re fine, but make sure you’ve got enough distance between the top of the horns and the lid, too close and you block airflow….

Thank you Pat, it has more than a rain hat all the way around and I used a rain hat for the dimensions when I did the redo of the plenums. Rain hats have 3" inside them and the plenums have 4".
This is definitely the hardest ( physically) thing that I have done to the car. Way to much bending over. My back is giving me 7 & 8's. It's just a temporary thing, in a couple of days I will be back to normal, makes me want my wheelchair back. But the car is ready for start up again. And that is real progress. It sure looks BITCHIN...

My wheelchair didn't fit into the garage. Welding in the Engman stiffing kit was only hard because I had to climb over the door brace. The car was on stands and shimmed level.

I thought I posted this.

Attached Image

Nope not a repost. Just another picture but the drivers side plenum is complete in the second one. The plexiglass and the screws are in.
Like I said, looks pretty cool to me.
OK look, so this car puts a smile on my face. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yes, this is a much better picture.

So Pat got my curiosity going and I just had to know. The clearance between the violosity stacks and the ceiling of the rain hat is an inch and a half, the clearance of the stacks and the ceiling inside the plenums is two and an eight. It's more than I thought.

Ahhh much better pic, that should be plenty of room. I’ve always thought scooping air from the sails is a much more elegant solution than adding a scoop from the top a la GT1…. Haven’t seen too many sail scoops though…

As mentioned in another thread, glad this makes you happy, that’s what this is all about!

Tumultuous times, screw that, I have a great start on the year and I'll go directly forward. Tomorrow I will have the car out and be able to clean up the trailer and car. Oh boy another photo opp.

Working on mounting the front turn signal lights. It's an 1157 mounted in a flash light reflector in a piece of aluminum. Weight is about 4 oz.

914 Light got nothing on me.

I've been looking at some stuff to hold the wire looms in place and I am not really happy with the plastic clips that I have been installing on the car. What I'm looking at right now is magnets held in place with heat shrink.

Attached Image

Installing the looms with a heat gun I can make them lay petty much anywhere I want. If one magnet won't hold it in place I can easily add another magnet, like on that connector.

Looking at board that I mounted the screen for the Arduino board I wasn't happy with, so I made a new one. And as with all my small projects it is much better than the first one.
I'm also doing a smoke generator.

Attached Image

There ya go, another lousy picture. Sorry I'll do something about it later.

So today I did the finishing on the mount for the Arduino board screen. It looks great and I got the speed control to have zero straight up and the other 2 switch's are for the Gurney Flap and the power to the screen. Just about ready for installation.
