UPDATE: June, 02. 2008

Cone in place.

Finish quality is pretty shoddy, but even at idle it's effects are very noticeable. Full throttle absolutely rocks.

Thin layer of light weight fiberglass cloth. Finish coat of West Systems resin with low friction graphite (black) 423 & 406 (filler).

I never finished the cone and duct with (410) feather filler before applying the finish black coat, which is why it looks so funky. I'm on a deadline now, and have to start a new skirt ASAP.

My dirty laundry is for you to look at, pass the bleach if you want it cleaner.

My grass needs mowing too.
