This holiday has been the least productive ever. It wasn’t from lack of trying, just a lot of stuff coming up. I even took off this week as a “real” vacation, but got dragged into some day-job related stuff – defending the free world and what not. Then there was replacing two toilets, made infinitely more fun with <em>seven</em> trips to the hardware store. Then there was chasing off raccoons in the middle of the night, several times.
Anyway… some work really did get done. As mentioned before, the front grill is done, and the left-side “gills.” I like them and purposely left them slightly imperfect. Not sure whether to add stiffening beads – it’s unclear if air flow will start them vibrating. Then there’s possibly adding wire mesh on the outlets, but that can be done later. The pictures pretty much show how they’re fabricated. They’re sitting in-place – loose – so don’t look lined up, but they’re okay. They look good, big and aggressive, and have rounded ends that go with the rest of the car. I’m happy, in spite of all the whining. Just have to do the other side now…
