build diary

May 26, 2004: Back into the black paint.
All the welded bits and my new parts are getting the POR treatment. It's about as exciting as watching paint dry. Oh, everyone's a comedian. Anyhow, I also received a CD of photos from Heikki Rinta-Koski. They include a number of closeups of the CMC build at the Walter Mitty last month, a visit to the CMC factory and some detail shots of a Westfield. The Mitty photos will likely be quite handy as I reverse-engineer the parts and show some interesting modifications to the frame design. The CMC factory visits include a number of detail photos of Wade Horwood's factory-built version of the Miata kit. Wade had mentioned his frame was sparkly green - he wasn't kidding!
