Big day of work

Today, we had a huge crew come by to help.  Bill, Bryce, Dave, Pat,  and Joe all stopped in for the better part of the day to toil away on the rally car.  We're lucky to have some really good-natured and skilled friends.

We got some major things done:
- Bumper cores lightened & installed
- Heater installed
- Front wiring harness simplified
- Battery box mounted
- Door, hood, and trunk seals installed

- Horns installed

We're  very close to installing all the body work and lights.  One more work night and that could be done.

Here are some pictures from today:

Pat lightened the front bumper core with the plasma torch.

While Joe took care of the rear bumper.  This may be the first time that Joe has used his plasma torch in 5 years.  Dan and I have used it a whole bunch, though.  Thanks, Joe!

Also note Dan's air compressor in the background "26 gallons".  He searched and searched for that model, since mine is only 25 gallons....

 

 

Bryce took on the task of mounting the aftermarket heater.  Doug had already done most of the ducting, but the real challenge was mounting the heater so it wouldn't move.  Bryce did a great job.

 

Bill helped mount the battery box and even got to weld some more.

Dave took care of all the seals, and then mounted the rear bumper.

Bryce ate a maple bar.

Hazel supervised.
