Time for the next Big announcement ! The front housing opening will be sealed with a piece of plexiglass. With the limited space Sponsors get first shot at sending me something small, stickers, key chains, anything that fits in your hand. Once all the Sponsor items have been acquired and tagged the remaining space will be open to the public. For a small fee or donation your item will be sealed in the diff and after Bonneville returned with a certificate of authenticity your item was on the salt at World of Speed week. Fuel isn't cheep Retired living on a fixed income LOL

Working on a plan for a bed cover. Summit steel will be donating what we need. The best option would be to just cover the bed with a hole where the fuel filler is. With the roll bars coming out of the cab into the bed it makes it a little more work. My other option was run a flat plate up to the roll bars then angle it up towards the center of the rear window. I know I am over thinking this. Plus waiting on springs, some steering clearing issues, overthinking LOLOL We got this its just get one thing done a day and before you know it We will be on the salt.

What the heck is going on with that pig in the background? Did I drink to much and not seeing clearly.

It's the post processing that smartphones do now for objects that aren't necessarily the main focus in a picture. It tends to smooth and round things more than needed.

Back to reality new re routed fuel lines in place. Im making brackets to hold the lines away from the motor and wrapping them in some NASA heat stuff. It's going to be hot enough in September. Why you ask ? It's just how my brain works LOL

After reflecting why we got into racing and even Bonneville. I had to take a step back and make the decision to ditch the Sniper 4 barrel idea. I have a deadline and in order to get us to the Salt I am going back to the Sniper 2 barrel. Yeah it might have worked, with more time to test, fabricate, tune I might have pulled it off. I feel good about this and we are back on track to doing something no one expected, Driving a FJ45 at Bonneville during World of Speed week. Its about having fun and making memories. Thanks for all the support

 

[matzell]

4 barrel may have been too much? Like a 32/34 weber and a 38/38. I just want to see this thing run!
