I think I will have a driving / flying chassis by July or August and then put the body on Aug / Sept. From that point, I'm giving myself another year to deal with body modifications, sheet metal and air management, interior and paint. I don't know. It would be cool to make the Mini-Nats 03. We'll see how far I can get. I think the body work and paint will require a ton of work.
Let me know the next time you'll be at Sears Point and I'll stroll out for a visit.

Hi John,
There are a number of new items being built right now for air management. Engine bay stuff and radiator shrouding that controls airflow.
Also a new front splitter with proper tunnels and undertray design for variable front downforce.
I do not think that it will take you a year for body work. As you noticed the body is quite straight in the panels, but you do have to fit the doors, bonnet and decklid. This should not take too long, Unless you start doing some crazy things on the flares like you mentioned to me.
I do think that you have a good idea on the side vents. You may wish to wait on final design until you get the new design inner panels. This do mange the airflow in the vents areas.
Great work so far. Can't wait to see you at Willow.
