Smoothed the fire wall, no heat or air. Down the road it will get a Vintage Air setup.

Did the inside with Peel N Seal, $14 a roll beats the hell out of Dynamat.

Got my wheels and tires. Doesn't look right without the right suspension, but I had to try them out.

Here's a couple pics of my fuel cell mocked up. I framed the hole out with angle iron. The mount tabs are on the bottom of the cell, so I made spacers using 1" aluminum block.

Most of it is in final primer with the guide coat still on it. Some of it should be orange this week.

8-9-07 Paint is almost complete. The stripes and going on the front today. I have to lower it some to get it out of the clouds. She's coming together nicely.
