The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

A friend of mine has a built Shelby GT500 with 800 HP. It sounds awesome. But I think @cbarnes0061 's cammed up Fox sounds even better.

Yeah don't get me wrong big blocks sound good but nothing like a rev happy small block and it's gotta be a pushrod motor. My dad has a 03 cobra pushing 650 to the tires and it sounds awesome but for some reason those overhead cam motors just don't sound as good.

Finally!!!!!

Spent last couple days cleaning and organizing. It's closer but not done.

PAU ultimate is on the table. Removed and fixed the bent cabane. Putting it back won't be fun. I'm also getting my list for the viper. Excited to put that together

Between Friday night and all day Saturday I managed to get the DLE170 back on the Edge and running! I installed dual 32oz 4titude tanks and an EQ6 also. The DLE runs great! I did a little bit of baffling up front to get it running andI will say that just redirecting the air to the center of the cylinders made a ton of difference in temps! Can't wait to get the rest of the baffling in place and see just what it will do.

Nice!

After watching your video and I saw this on the same page and it just made me laugh so I had to post it.

Fixing the door trim on the dryer. Building RC planes has taught me a lot about repair versus replace. A little JB Weld and I hope I've saved $100.00! That's a lot of RC gasoline.

Well got the last parts of the plane in the vacuum bag today all looks good. It surprised me how long it took me to get it into the bag again. One thing I did learn this time is start a new batch of epoxy and new roller for every bag you use.
This is the fourth plane I am doing and every time I learn something. Anyway I must say thanks to all for helping me into vacuum bagging.

I started shooting the red paint last night. I might have this thing in the air by the next weekend. I also added some black pin striping to the pilot while enjoying an adult beverage.

Busy day around the house and shop. Weather was warm today but too windy to fly. So the first thing I did was to finish up the cold frame I started last week.

It hinges open. And once it warms up for good this season all I have to do is knock out the hinge pins and the whole thing will lift off.
