Not much of an update, but I am very slow! Redid the trunk to move the fuel filler -- had to get it higher than the old filler door to accomodate a larger fuel cell (22 gal). I built carbon fiber finish panels for the inside of the trunk (very thin and light). The hole in the trunk floor is where the dual inlet carbon fiber duct for the rear end cooler goes -- forced air comes from the fender scoops through the ducts you can see in the trunk side panels. The two slots in the trunk floor are where the wing supports go through to the frame. I am almost finished with the metal (aluminum) firewall between the fuel cell and passenger compartment (required by SCCA, NASA, and the Nevada Open Road guys). Pictures to follow soon.
