Blah, PVC FTL!

Or is it the glue ?

No, it's the PVC. I had to use elbows, but cut off the cup and was going to glue them into the MDF so it would be flush on the inside and have no impedance to the airflow. That didn't work out too well, and they ended up being too wide for me to fit the enclosure between the strut towers. SO now, I have one wasted 90* elbow and a stick of 3" with no use. Slot vent FTW!

I have a moutain of paperwork to do here at work.

I can't see my desk, and I have stacks of files all over my office.

Oh well, I was sick and I took some time off before that. I'll just plug away now and into tonight and get as much done as possible, hopefully work half days this week.

That was the plan from the beginning, but I don't have enough width.

Why not bend the port inside the enclosure and have the side fire ?

i really need some ideas for the fiero color, the more i think about it, the less sure i am.

If i do black, it's going to be a PITA because i don't know when i'd bea ble to use the booth, probably never the way things are coming along (the nice downdraft booth at the cabinet shop)

Other colors i'd be happy painting outside, but black is damn hicky, if i fudge it up, it'll show

so far i'm thinking.

black wtih tons of pearl - i like a good normal gloss black, but not enough

deep blue - this one would probably be a candy if i did it

maroon - candy apple brandywine or whatever the damn color is called, still love it, but as mentioned before, its so damn common

now there's also deep green, copper, or con mom into airbrushing the whole damn car with some kind of scene (it'd take lots of bribery, she hasn't touched anything like that in probably 20 years)

bah, i hate decisions

I don't need the bend inside the enclosure. It won't work that way. If I had a pic, you'd see why. It's all good though. . I just have to finish the slot, cut a hole for it, and it's good to go.

Having mom airbrush would be cool, depending on what it is. I really like ghosted images.

back from the run...and it was a blast!! lots of pics, and a couple of vids, but i gotta resize them first.

remember somewhere i said like 100 bikes?? well, i was a bit off....more like 1000 bikes. some sweet ones too!

anyway, it was good..12hrs in the saddle. no titties though...too cold and wet in the morning and then the wifey was with me the whole time in the afternoon.

oh well, can't wait to do it again next year!

sounds nice ray, *cough* pics

as for the airbrushing it wouldn't be flames or anything, it would be a complete scene. I hate hate hate flames. We're talking something that turns the car into a canvas.
