(43 days until the 2012 WHPSC)
Deburred the recess in the subframe for the jackshaft support.
Another fit check...
Getting ready to apply fiberglass with polyester resin. Crossing our fingers that the thin protective veneer consisting of twin coats of epoxy has sealed the polystyrene foam - otherwise, the whole thing will melt!
One side down, one to go
Foam is holding up - time to glass the other side
Whew! The resin cured without melting the foam. Now that the foam is encapsulated, we don't have to worry about it melting
Now to get a little sunlight to accelerate the cure
Continuing around...
... and around
Head-on shot

Snowing again in Perris, California in the middle of summer
Buzzing the nose
Yes, it makes you itch!
Freshly buzzed
Back out in the sun so my dad can snap a few pictures with his camera
