I haven't done much to it recently. I swapped out the valve on the Accusump, and finished the dual fuel pump stuff by running a hobbs switch.

I'm busy working on a sprinkler system in my yard. When that's done and I feel the car is running well with no little issues I'll build a rear diffuser and a GT wing. That will probably be at the end of summer or early fall.

I wasted too much money on fueling parts (double pumper, adjustable fpr, new pump), and the ETS manifold - it screwed up all my plans for the summer. I still want to get some new rotors before I build the diffuser and wing, not to mention having money for track days.

Back at it.

Going to a track day this Wednesday and they require current harnesses for both passenger and driver. This was enough motivation for me to finish the harness bar I started over a year ago.

I'm starting to fabricate parts for the GT wing.

Airfoil template.



Getting ready to Plasma Cut .25" 6061 airfoil ends.



The roughed out parts. A little sanding will clean them up.



Cutting the base plates



Laying out the base plates on the trunk. Gotta make sure everything gets straight relative to the car.

I'm very impressed on how you build your own parts. I wish I could do that in my garage.

I have a tubing bender that will do stuff up to 2" with thicker walls. Roll cage and chassis type stuff. I typically use is for 1.5" .120" wall (roll cage material).

I built the bender myself based around these dies. http://www.pro-tools.com/

All the stainless exhaust and Al IC piping was done with purchased mandrel bends.
