LoudBurp Posted September 24, 2011 Report Posted September 24, 2011 great build, can't wait to see when its all done. Definatly staying tuned. Best of Luck and Cheers! There is a point of diminishing returns on the amount of equipment installed, kinda like throwing money out a window.

There's no set date per se, but we will definitely have it together and running at SummerNats. Shooting for End of October early Nov, but there's still a LOT of work to get done, so we'll see...
Phoenix Gold Oz Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Posted September 25, 2011 OK so here's today's update: We made a good start on fibreglassing both the top and bottom boxes. The bottom box got a couple layers of matting on all seams and a good coating on all panels. The top box received a light layer of resin over the grille cloth to harden it into shape, then we started building up the thickness, along with coveing all seales with a couple layers of matting. And yes we made sure to rip the matting, not cut it, so we get a stronger bonding of the layers where the fibres overlay each other. Still a bit more work to be done to bring things to their final thickness, but made a REALLY good start and man is it STRONG!!!
Phoenix Gold Oz Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Posted September 25, 2011 While Bec and I were glassing, Fab was out in the sunshine rewiring under the bonnet (hood for our American friends). We had to remove the stock 120a alternator just be able to get at the rear of the unit. We upgraded both the charge cable and the earth strap to 0ga. Fab also cleaned up all the wiring to the fuse box making sure there was enough room to stuff the new Stinger SPV69 battery in place. Just waiting for a few minor adjustments to our battery tray and then the wiring under the bonnet is complete!!! Inside joke but we thought Fab's wiring was so WONDERFUL we had it printed right on the wire!!! Glenn also shot through a quick progress picture from his garage, showing how the 50mm x 50mm bracing for the centre section of the box is coming along...Whoah!!! Stay Tuned - More next week!!! Cheers, Scott

Phoenix Gold Oz Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Posted September 26, 2011 Hi All, Thanks for the encouragement!!! You're all the reason we put these pictures up here... and Yes it truly is a family affair with everyone helping out, the messier the job the more my little boy loves it! Purplehaze, since we're in Australia my sources might not be any help to you LOL but you should be able to get a fibreglass roller from any fibreglass supplier, maybe even at Lowes or something? Going to try to finish off the fibreglass during the evenings this week as long as the fumes aren't too bad and my wife doesn't complain
