I'm aiming mine for Hallet. Still have a huge punch list -- need
to put the pedal to the metal over the next few weeks.

Are you planning on running in PA weekend? There is a pretty good crowd signed up.

I wish...love Hallett. Great place to run.

Unfortunately I have a ton left to do and picking up some of my boss's duties while he is in hospital.

The build continues...slowly, but continuing.

The last quarter of 2015 was completely crazy at work. All told, I had well over 4 months of O/T in for the year. Boss got better but didn't return to work and actually retire this week.

January brought a promotion from a lead systems engineer to Chief/Project Engineer, so there have been challenges there, but I have been able to spend more time in the past two months than all of last year on the car.

Front suspension updated to Koni, coil overs, GC plates, Weltmeister bar, delrin bushings.

Rear suspension going back in with 31mm hollow torsions, Konis, Weltmeister rear bar

Setrab oil cooler installed on a fabbed mount

newly allowed Only944 shifter parts

Dash and gauges, still need to fab the harness

some body massaging on the left fender and primed for paint


Once the rear suspension goes back in, off to the shop to get the Hank's cage finish welded.
While that is happening, cleaning up the motor, replacing rod bearings, replacing belts. Updating transaxle and repairing a bad syncro in the spare.

Still lots and lots to do, but finally...progress is being made.

Chassis dropped off at Late Apex Fabricationin Ft Worth to finish out the cage, seat mount, gussets etc. YAY!

Should have it back by next weekend, then to paint, reassembly, build out, and set up.
I see that Flying Penguin Racing was well chosen name as this build is glacier slow!
