No updates . . .

No updates at the moment, just ordering parts, figuring out a few things and paint work. In the coming week the visuals should start happening again.

Just a cool shot

Overflow/recovery/puke tank

This is my setup for a recovery/overflow bottle. This was an aluminum Mountain Dew bottle that was put out last year that I held on to because I knew it would be useful someday. The top line comes from the radiator and goes to the bottom of the bottle. The bottom line goes up through the bottle and ends a few inches shy of the top. This will allow coolant to be recovered but overflow if it begins to fill too much.

The beginnings of sound

I have no intention on putting a head unit, radio, cd player, etc in the bucket but I do need some sort of tunes. I don't have the speakers that will go in yet but I did start building the iPod interface.

This basically consist of a mini-amp (says 500w but its really a 40w rms amp) adn a Belkin ipod adapter. I gutted the Belkin adapter for it's power and interface, removed the inputs from the amp and mashed it all together and surprisingly enough it works very well. The volume control was also extended so I can put it wherever I want, I just have to figure out where that is.

Windshield brackets have arrived

The windshield mounts arrived from Speedway yesterday so I started to mock them up and fit the windshield.
