Short-Throw

As of tomorrow all the bodywork should be on the car. There was great progress made today as many hands were involved. The car is scheduled for the dyno Wednesday. There are still a few hoses and such that will be replaced, but for dyno purposes they are staying on temporarily. This will be the first time anyone will hear how this thing sounds.

Right now there's just a lot of yellow going on. It will not stay like this once the final paint scheme is in place. I will try to post pics of it next to my VY Z06 so you can see how C6R Yellow really differs.


I mentioned the pace would pick up and it certainly has. Here are the latest pics as of a few hours ago. These should give you a little idea on how the shape will be. When all the trim is on, it will be one scary machine.



Here is the MoTec instrument display.




The fuel cells are in and capped off.




Plumbing both sides will be finished tomorrow.




Carbon Fiber Dash!




With a nifty cutout to access the oil tank.




The hood will be attached with four cotter pins.




This seat would originally not fit, hence we removed the floor.




The paint scheme will break up some of this monotony.



Aircraft fuel filler door.




The Pratt & Miller Wing is one of my favorite components of this car. Vetical Slats to be added soon.




I will try to capture the next 2-3 days as the car will almost be finished by then. The interior will be very cool once the switchboard is wired. I'll try to throw up a few more pic later.


She's almost done gang!

Bet you can't wait to

So jealous!!!

DoingOK

Uhmmmm.........let me check, yup still have copious amounts of hate for you.

Just curious, after all the high quality parts you've added have you thought about Dzus fasteners instead of cotter pins?

Adam Boca

UNREAL! UNREAL! UNREAL!!!

Like I mentioned in the previous thread, that dash is a piece of work. Love the CF! Love the MOTEC! Love it all!

The cowl piece with the Oil tank cut out is another work of art..

That color is simply amazing!

to you Mike! I know you are getting REALLY excited!

Adam

Suh-weet!

Jim,

I was never not going!

Henry,

I think I will be free for Open House! This all started from your creation! She's coming home baby, she's coming home!

Short-Throw

Thanks for all the love pal!

If I'm not mistaken, Dzus fasteners are not as easy to remove, no? Do they also not need a tool?

Mike

Adam,

There are many features like that with the craftsmanship that the camera doesn't show. This is the first car I've owned that I cared about how it looked under the hood. It's simply stunning.

The color is the perfect shade between MY and VY. Once the car hits sunlight, I will take some pics. I think every color possible looks good under fluorescents.


Mike

I am about at a loss for words.

RFC2

Are you an experienced driver? Will you be able to take advantage of this car?

Toonz

You've got me more excited for your car than mine! LOL Looking great!

Short-Throw

I never knew such a day was possible!

Katech_Zach

Mike,

I'll race you. First to complete their car wins.

Mike will be able to "take advantage" of anyone who happens to be temporarily in front of him on the track, that is until they appear in his "rear view" mirror.

Can't wait to see the maiden voyage in person!

Katech_Zach

Mike figured this would be a fun way to get into road racing. How hard can it be?

Short-Throw

Thanks Toonz. I won't be able to take mine to Home Depot!
