May to August, 2000

Many apologies for the lack of posted activity over the last few months.

Everything seems to have taken over our time and this project has taken a backseat for a while. I enter August vowing to restart and get this finished and running asap.

We have done some work but with few visible results. Fiberglassing joints and sanding, filling, then sanding again has taken sooo long. And although its almost 100F in the garage we are now moving onto fitting the skirt strips.

Just a couple of short pieces to go, fit the air splitter, then seal and paint. Cant wait for that....
