Merry Christmas!

I have a small break at work and I'm hoping to get alot done in the next 2 weeks....

....so much to do I, I have to really get my ass in gear and start working....sometimes keeping working on big projects like this is hard.

that said my project looks like a walk in the park when compared to what this kid is doing in his garage.

The next goals is to get to a point where I can start working on the motor.

On list ,
-Weld firewall holes and tube holes shut and seal the firewall.
-Fabricate and install rear "firewall". (alum. or steel I dunno yet)
-Position and fabricate pedal mounts.
-Install Master cylinders and install brake lines.

**major milestone**get brakes operational!***

Then If I'm really lucky to finish all that, start working on the new dash fabrication and gauge positioning.

Oh yeah.....paint the engine bay.....paint all the new tubes inside the car.....

I have 2 weeks....lets see......

and here are some pics of the reason I haven't been working on the car.......

The only bad thing about working with movies and cutting edge technology is that your working with all this cool stuff and all these cool projects that you have to keep quiet about....so this is about all i can show....

To say I'm excited about what I'm doing is an understatement. Especially in this economy, I just happy to have a paycheck! Also, it's nice to have some funds to be able to complete the car......


Me on the left on a pre-production prep day....and yes that a rally car.


me trying to figure out what does what on our Avid DS system.



Like my co-worker says " I'm just a monkey in a spaceship, pushing buttons. " eventually I figure out what I'm doing!

Pretty much sums up how I learn things......
