Coming up for air... the basic shape has been sorted out - now it's time for details!
I have to cut all the socket openings (they're in there, ready to shine), add the lower mounts, and then begin sculpting the wings for the top mount. I cannot wait to share my
Todd vision for the wings and motor meter.
I might have to rethink my original plan for bolting the front and rear halves together. It was supposed to have lots of bolts in counterbored holes, running around the shell; but I don't think I want to break up the shape now. I'm thinking about having fewer, exposed, external, bolt bosses on the inside between some of the sockets. I was also supposed to bend the whole deal, but I am going to try it straight first.
Don't let the CAD model fool you either, this thing is tiny. It's only 15-1/2" tall, and 1-1/2" deep.
