Hey ya'll... I'm back. Passed my certification test and now can go full retard on my build again. I'm a proud member of the GCFA club.

Fuel rail bracket mounts need to be changed due to injectors being smaller.

(day pass)
Bent some custom mounts, they work pretty good. Lots of pulling on and off of the fuel rail. Lost a bolt in the crevice of the head. Looks like I'm pulling the intake. What ever. I needed to put thread seal on the steam vent anyway. ����

(day pass.. or so)
Retrieved lost but and lock washer. Wrapped up custom fuel rail brace, perfect. Put the intake on and found that I didn't tighten the rail bolts to the intake. Attempted to take off the intake again and broke bolts off in the head. FACKKKKKKKKK. My buddy was kind enough to let me know 89 inch pounds is what it called for. Clearly I did more. ������

(Day passed with irritation)

I shifted gears to work on a carbon fiber hood and carbon fiber cowl. I was going to take a different route for my hood but apparently there is some synergy between my needs and people that have Whipple chargers. I made no promises to Mike but I'm not one to shy away from a challenge. Worst case scenario is that I don't make anything. Best case scenario is I make a limited run. We'll see.

What I can say about mold making process is that it's very time intensive. Good thing I'm on that Covid-19 extra time.
