Thanks Hoosier!

[S. Heisley]

Wow! Great job!

[Atomic77]

Thanks Sharon!

[Atomic77]

Thanks noseoil! Yes it was tricky and we had plenty of acetone on hand but all went well!

[Atomic77]

Since I'll be on the road with time on my hands I'll be trying to think of a paint scheme. I already know I'm going to do a silver base... And I want to use some candies and flake. No pearl, I want to rock this one old school. If any artists here have ideas let me know!

I'd go 57 chev/impala style 2 tone, you could even get some Crome adhesive trim to cover the mask line.
Still love it mate it's an awsum shape

[Atomic77]

Thanks Dale. I like it better all the time.

Great build! This is kind of what I'm looking to build - standup with inside toilet though I'm thinking about sticking the kitchen on the outside.

In any case - I was wondering if you had a target weight that you were shooting for?

[Atomic77]

Thanks. I would like to keep it in the 1200-1500lb range. At this stage she seems very light, still being able to move it around by hand.

[wandererr]

That's not too bad. What do you think is the heaviest portion of the build so far where you could have saved some weight ?

[Atomic77]

Really so far there isn't any. It's really light. You have to consider the size.

Well I'm home from Seattle (we won) and I've got a little time before the next race... Here's a sneak peak of a project that's been in the mix for months now. Our custom, one-off aluminum emblems we just finished.

Congradulations micheal!
Always good to cop a win.

Love, love, love the emblems!!!

Laser cut from sheet, or CNC milled in relief?

p.s. Karl just bought an older 3-axis CNC Acra mill and is starting to figure out how to program it. Gets me one step closer to custom badging for TPCE.

I'd like to revise the question; water jet?
