Well, Here's my update for November.... Got all the noses done.... made 2 and got those prepped and ready for paint. I had a longer Holiday than normal, so while I had my girl's 82 still nasty from working on the noses, I went ahead and started back onto the engine bay covers .... I've always wanted to make it look like a turbine....well, after going to Kennedy space center...I took notes... but I'm still using my original cover I made awhile back, with the turbo on the passenger side. Well, this may not look like much, but this is what I have fabbed up so far. Just raw glass that's been fighting with the grinder.... the part lost... Jjokin. You can see the original cover in the background...This is on my girls carbed engine, so it's about the same....you can see the vent on the driver side I'm making... going to look like a jet engine when done...trust me....
Now....Here's a funny for ya... I've been planning on making a cover for the turn signals and scanner, so, I made some... here's the funny part, if you reverse the turn signals , you can mount them on the cover, then use the middle section for the cover for the scanner... basically putting your mounting tabs for the turn signals upside down and mounting it to the covers.... turned out nice.... now for a little bondo and make pretty.....and this will be done.....
Not much, but enough to keep ya busy, till next month......and yes, raw glass lookds horrible when fabbing.... got to start somewhere A?
