ran brake lines today, started running wire harness for the Holley and the gauges.
prepped the carbon fiber wing and test fit. had few issues with the front drive shaft
clearing the oil sending unit. very tight fit but I finally got it. thxnx for positive feed back I did not know how everyone would except it had a lot of hater and people telling me we could never make it work I have heard that 1,000 times. So that being said I am so happy to finally start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. more soon.

The unsolicited negative feedback I receive is typically from people without the resources to accomplish what I'm doing. People with skills usually say why something won't work, explain what you are doing wrong and may even offer to lend a hand.

You missed one...
I find the people with the most negative feedback for me or lack of credit where credit is due are the ones who are just jealous that you thought of it first or have the skills to do it and they don't.
Personally, I have found that the best fabricators/craftsman know good work when they see it and are self confident enough in their own skills to compliment another person's skills.

Just found this and the drawing had me thinking this was not going to turn out to my liking but the result thus far is much nicer than expected. The lines flow well together. GL at Sema
