Da#n it, man! :banghead:

Offering to run blocker in July . . . . Well, there goes the new paint.

There ya' go! That'll keep you out of the 'dawg' house, lucky! :cheers:

Yessir, I'd like an extra Storker with that order and super-size the fries, please.

Dan, Thanks for the info. Any experience with flexible SP's for roof mount?

Maybe we can gang up on Mario in July and talk him into a set of Brooklands.

Gotta love a happy ending. Back on the raod and back on the track. Mario ran a test day last Thursday at Sebring and reported that the car did well. Video link posted in the Seven Videos section. http://www.usa7s.net/vb/showthread.php?t=9597 . . . . . :cheers:

Mario Parker running a few test laps at Sebring. For the uninformed, this is what Mario's car looked like a few months back: http://www.usa7s.net/vb/showthread.php?t=9116 Here is the car at Sebring after a rebuild and sorting: Way to go, Mario! :hurray: . . . . :cheers:

Thanks, Loren.

Dick Brink, Texas Motor Works may have one: http://www.texasmotorworks7.com/?no_mobile=true 817-461-7431

That's the spirit! :hurray::party::cheers:

I've let the smoke out'a wires a time or few. Filled the garage full o' smoke on one occasion . . . . plumb ugly. :banghead: . . . . :cheers:

Wayne, Thanks for chiming in.

Michael, Hate to hear about the tranny issues. That is discouraging. This doesn't help, but FWIW, I've pulled the drive train out of my car twice in a little over twelve months. Earlier last year, I installed a brand spanking new Liberty Gears TKO 600 only to have it leak right out of the gate. I ran it like that for the season and fixed it in the fall (turned out to be a bad seal on the front bearing retainer). Your situation is definitely a bit more critical. I hope you get it worked out and I hope to see you in July. :smash: . . . . :cheers:

Tom, I'd like a closer look in July if you don't mind.

. . . . . . :banghead:

Correction made. :jester: . . . . . . :cheers:

Considering solar panels. Anyone installed/have solar panels on there trailer? Recommendations? Options? Manufacturers? Etcetera,etcetera, etcetera . . . . :rofl:

No serious trauma to the body is very positive for the sport. Well seasoned, veteran riders assured.

Remembering back to 2010, I think I paid $7K for a Quaife six speed sequential. The Caterham pricing reads more like aviation industry standards. A couple of years ago, we replaced a simple thermos style coffe pot on one if our Falcon aircraft; a bargain at $700.00. I'm a bit more careful with the coffee pots these days.

Is the paint ball zone the same as the passing zone and do the same 'point by' rules apply? I'm into fluorescent colors.

You're ALL crazy!!! :willy_nilly: I never mentioned a Walmart parking lot, thank you very much :toetap05: . . . but now that you mention it. On a serious note, ditto on 'no car cover'; NOT good for the paint. However, I do like the shrink wrap sugestion. Klasik-69, on the way up, I'll stop by Wally World and grab a couple of shopping carts . . . . just in case you change your mind. :smilielol5: Looking forward to meeting/seeing/hanging out with/driving with all you 'other' crazy Seveners. Cheers!

The bottom of the fuse block looks as though it may already be resting on/against the edge of the bracket itself and providing some additional support and protection against vibration. However, :iagree: large diameter flat washers placed above and beneath each mounting ear :bigear: may help spread the load. :cheers:

Man, I've aged.

Dan, The build is looking fantastic. Don't make any apologies for detail, or for individuality produced on a lathe. Detail and individuality is what makes the car yours. If I had a lathe, a mill and could tig weld, every bracket, whatnot, doodad and thingamajig on my Stalker would be billet and/or have welded seams that would rival anything in the aviation industry. Remember what they say (whoever 'they' are ), it's the little things in life that count.
