Days are getting better and better. Today saw more parts painting as well as some really cool building stuff.

Since we are adding an awesome new slot car race track to our widening selection of entertainment attraction, it was time to get started on the track table and bases. We started with the construction of the table top and found that the one inch foam wasn't goin to be stiff enough, so we added some sections of two inch underneath to increase the rigid strength. Epoxied and weighted down the top should be ready for the next phase by Sunday.


We had to stop and cut a bit of fire wood, but then it was on to the portable bases for the track. Lots of cutting, sanding, and routing produced an almost complete first base. It will take two to hold the race track top. More progress tomorrow.

With the help of some good buddies the topper is now on the trailer. In the next few days we will be doing the final alignment and attachment.

Got off to a pretty strong start this morning only to run out of fairing compound. So, we need to pick some up tomorrow and get back on track. Got some other things done , so the day was not a loss.

What a weekend! The weather just made progress so much easier.

The trailer chassis got its final coat of paint over the completed areas. Then Soldier B & C started cleaning and painting all the parts needed to complete the re-assembly of the project. There was black paint flying everywhere.

Whilst that was going on Soldier A finished the framing construction of the trailer shell, so it is now ready for the first wave of putty and pre-fiberglass sanding. This was just a straight up awesome weekend.

Tomorrow is going to be all about paint and putty.

Motor pool was rockin today! Soldiers B & C got down and dirty on the trailer chassis prepping and painting. While all that was going on Soldier A was assembling the shell for the small trailer.

These are the kind of days that turn the tide on projects. Massive thanks to Soldier C!

Despite another trip to the doctors office this morning, Soldier A managed to get home in time to mix a bunch of fairing compound and fill most of the imperfections on the side walls he got built on Wednesday. Tomorrow they can be sanded and final assembly can start on the shell.

More time at the doctors offices for Soldier A today. No progress, bummer!

Walls got done today! We had an awesome day in part because the weather was in our favor. As a result all of the pieces we prepped got turned into the side walls of the new trailer shell.

We are thinking that the epoxy fairing compound will be easier to do prior to finishing the final assembly.

Interesting day today. Got the prototype of the frame for the trailer shell constructed today and it looks like it's gonna work.

We also made a couple of videos and got one uploaded to the site. Their seems to be a limit to the length we can upload.
