Actually… this only took me about 20minutes to put together.  Anyone else would give you the obligatory close up shot of nice bead… but no way I’m embarrassing myself by doing that.  My fear of pinhole leaks necessitates multiple passes on occasion.  Meh.  It looks well enough from a distance, and will be fine once painted.  Not like I’m building […]

Last thing I said was that turbocharging would wait until 2012… but I’ve ditched that.  It’s happening… but with only 6 weeks until the first auto-x, I feel like the rush is on.  It really shouldn’t be a problem assembling everything and making the car look like it’s turbocharged, the concern is getting it running to a point where I’m […]
