No Blu yet! I am behind schedule.. We had to block & primer the car two more times till if felt it was good for paint.. The boys have been @ it all week.. They even came in @ 6 AM this morning to get the car undercoated & painted on the underside.. next paint the interior & trunk.. then paint firewall.. then the top dash.. wet sand & paint.. Tuesday! I hope..

I got the A/C compressor adaptor block from my machinist today.. he made them out of stainless & aluminum.. options for which one will be easier to make.. Notice that the service port fittings are threaded to mount on top..

Schaa-wing! Love those machined parts Cris! I'd p-coat 'em clear and call it done.

Also admire the floor bracing under the tunnel that the subfr connectors run through. Combined w the vert brace is one slick set up. Nice job all around Boss...:cheers:

Cris,

I would think it's got to be way more rewarding putting this rolling jigsaw puzzle together using parts you designed. :thumbsup:

Thanks Ron! I am sure we will be using some of these billet pcs on your car.. We have set a batch aside for clear or black anodize aside..

Skip I am so damm anxoius to get this thing assembled! It will be nice to proof all designed components ASAP! Got a new salesman starting in the next few weeks.. He will be marketing & selling JCG components with a few handful of vendors components.. I just don't have the time to market & sell.. got to much going on with running the business, projects & designing components.. Next position I will be trying to fill is a project coordinator to help with projects, parts list, & wrenching on the cars for final assembly.. I am going to have a very hard time giving that up to somebody else.. but need an extra hand in that dept..

Plus you oversee all thrash barr-bee-q's, right? :D

Like the (unfinished) movie title says...'Something's got to give'.
