Day 7 & 8- Aluminium (english accent)


So I didn't blog yesterday for number of reasons: No camera, No energy,No time, Not a lot changed.

When i say not a lot changed i don't mean we were lazy and didn't do anything but nothing really looks different from 10 feet. We were siliconing and riveting the 10 aluminum panels on the driver and passenger footbox , the rear cockpit wall, and the floorboards which were already being held temporarily in place by a couple sheet metal screws. So what was there temporarily is now there fastened for eternity by 1/8 inch rivets.

We've already blown through 5 1/8" drill bits drilling the hundreds of holes for the rivets which is why a buddy instructed us to pick up about 40 1/8" bits; we have 35 left.

Oh in case you were wondering if you hit a cicada on the garage floor with a deadblow hammer it ceases to exist.
