Not another Chan, build.

Pump alignment and fitting is complete, did some more blending in the pump tunnel/shoe which isn't pictured. Dropped the motor in for some mockup. E-box location is gonna be tricky at best but I think I have a good solution in the works. more to come on that

Spent today getting some turfing done, learned that I hate turfing. Also learned that DAP Weldwood is probably fairly toxic. I work in a very large open shop and didnt expect the fumes to be an issue. I spent probably around 3 hours working on the base of the tray. After I got the main section in I cleaned up and headed home. Soon as I walked into my house my vision started getting blurry and I couldnt focus well at all. I took a shower and laid down for awhile my vision returned to normal after around a half hour it then progressed into a migrane like headache which lasted for about 2 hours. Long story short, work in a well ventilated area when turfing or wear a respirator. Lesson learned, i still dont feel 100%

Heres a few of the progress, hopefully it was worth the lost brain cells

Yeah DAP is some crazy strong stuff. Looking really good so far! What are you using to shape the padding?

Thanks, air angle grinder with a 3" 80 grit disc and a very light touch, also just some plain 60 grit sandpaper.

Looks good man. Very nice work.

Very nice job. Good luck on the sides. Next time do them first. Your about to find out why.

I turfed all weekend. Didn't think about the toxicity until you posted this. No doubt it is some strong stuff. I try to do most of it outdoors. It explains why I couldn't stop shaking my foot while watching TV last light and also why I couldn't sleep last night.

He'll, I use DAP as a air freshner and mix in some lacquer thinner for extra kick.

Finally got some time today to get some work done. Started with epoxying the mounts for the E-box.



I know it doesnt looks like it in the pictures, but I did strip the Zolatone off where I did the epoxy I took it down to bare carbon.

 

[SmittySX]

Very nice work. It will all pay off in the end!

 

[DirtKurt]

Also finally mounted the block for the hood pins and the pole bracket


After that I put the pump setup in for good (well for now atleast) loctite and all hardware in and everything aligned.



Also threw the pole on so I could pretend I was almost done

Riser bars and a tall shock pad =hard to get back on nice build

 

[Pablo]

stock style tray is a no go, but i'm making and offset tray the will move it towards the center about 2 inches and put it right between the e-box and fuel tank

Should be noted that both Kurt and I were in for quite a shock of just how short the comp setup is when we stood in the tray, and realized we definitely may need to eat an extra bowl of wheaties and maybe a push-up or two this year lol

I am interested to see how that ebox location works with the tank and battery. I mounted mine to the front foothold.

Kurt,
Are you going to be using any dampeners on your ebox or just mounting it solid? I think i'm going to use this dampener (McMaster 9697K135) on this glass in insert (McMaster 97590A582)
