I got a new camera. Pretty sweet deal too. 10 mega pixel. I also decided to do a "real time" update cuz of my current sweet setup! Not only can I listen to my itunes I can post! Here's the setup, some pics with the cam, my heat blanket template, and some old pics of the Hydroboost drawings in case anyone is interested in getting the PDF in the future. 4 pages including a how to build page.

Awesome build. I'd love to have one of these.

Where in WA are you? I'd like to see the car in person someday.

that rust is killing me in the pix passanger side every thing is so clean but my eye keeps going to that spot.

It's not rust, I just cut away more of that rubber shit on the firewall before I put up the heat blanket and that's the old adhesive... I'll fix it. No worries! I live in Edmonds btw.

what kind/where did you buy that heat insulation?

P.S. that's some serious CAD work, i don't even put in that much effort for class :)

Mine's a little different :)

Let's just say mine will be a tad more.....extreme than yours :) Especially when i finish the motor that's going in it!

I am loving the linkage... i think it may be the most hardcore thing on this site.
