what's up with the gang today?

Bret is hooking up the dash for the Motec System
that we just had installed into the Rothman's 962.

Andy is working on parts for the 906.

Just like new!

Bill is fine tuning the bodywork on the G-99.

Taping off for final paint while cheesing for the camera.

Kevin is cutting out the dash of this Hebmuller
because someone updated the original.

Here's a link to a story about Hebmullers:

Bruce has been on the hunt lately.

Yesterday before I went home he was after this snake,
this morning he was harassing a lizard,
which is now roaming around somewhere in my office.

still crazy busy!

Just before going home last night...

Kevin sprayed the G-99 inner fender wells with black primer.

After all Bill's hard work, this is what the G-99 looked like this morning.

The side pods are in the paint booth ready for a coat of primer.

Andy has been busy fitting body pieces onto the 906.

not an easy process

He's roughly attaching everything.

Bruce likes to be where the action is.

one door on...

Second door on and you can see how much work
they still have to do
to make everything fit.

back to sanding

One of the first things Kevin likes to do is what he calls his "archaeological study". He grinds off the layers of paint to see what's under the top coat. That way, he can see if the serial number and history of the car matches with what he actually sees on the car.

cleaning engine parts

as always...he's been multi-tasking again today

a little engine assembly

Preparing this engine shroud so he can make a mold.
Is that enough to make your head spin...
how'd you like to be involved in this many projects every day!!
Crazy!

making it perfect does take time

Bret has been fabricating a 911R oil tank.
Here's what he had to start with.

He's got the material...and he's got a plan!

yea for me...it's friday!

I say yea for me because unlike Kevin,
I don't work on Saturday or Sunday.
The weekend is just another two work days for Kevin.
A few last touches on the 906 firewall
before it gets attached to the chassis.

Andy has started to assemble some parts.

firewall and door sills are in...

as well as the fiberglass that makes up the pedal firewall

Kevin and Andy have begun to glue strips of fiberglass.

Meeting of the minds....let's see,
do we need another Sonic milkshake run?

Bill has been busy on the G-99 side pod...

and now it's ready to attach to the car.

Back to working on the tail.

so much fun to grind fiberglass....not!!

Bret's still making fire...

and sparks.
Have a good weekend!
