I must admit, I am admiring your mad fab skills.

Well back to the splitter, that is between putting in that whole new bath from scratch, no plumbing, no drains, JustA bare room off the MB I built 14 years ago! Ok so I’m slow! It’s not like she really need another one to get pretty in!

I am surprised it was a bathroom. If it was my wife, it would be another walk-in closet - for her. I suspect you were wishing it was a closet instead.

Copy! But she does have three now!  and I mean three, I have like 2 feet in our bed room!. Still my 44 year old daughter has a 4 bedroom colonial to herself and every closet is filled to the brim, like mother like daughter!

Roger that. With the lone exception of my son's room, my wife's clothes occupy some (or all) space in every closet in the house, including mine.

Don't even get me started with my 3 women and the clothes.

Yeah, but at least you have your own garage / man-cave.

As for the 3 women, you're simply doomed, doomed, doomed.

Too cold to hang with the JUSTA's in the garage for very long.

Ok! JustA you win! I’ll just put the bath in and count my blessings. It could be so much worse. The bath I only have to do once, the clothes I have to buy forever.

There is no MALE winner at this game.  On the other hand if ya get to spend your time and $$$ on the rides...it all works out.

Happy wife, happy life - or so the expression goes. Nothing rhythms with husband so we are basically screwed.

As we said in my day, screwed, glued & tattooed!

All kidding aside she’s a great gal, has really put up with a lot of my insane ideas for 45 + years!

I don’t think I’m ever going to get this thing to fly! The wings to small!

well moving a little closer.

 

Well the final weight should end up lower than I thought. Probably around 6.5 lbs. forgot I had to cutout all the back aluminum to make the tabs. See bottom pic for comparison.

Thanks buddy! Gonna be itchin to get things painted when the weather permits. I assume I’ll be ready by then.

Well got the splitter mounted up, so this would be the basic look. Still need to make two stanchions for each out end and a little more finish work. Than primer when weather permits.

 

Outstanding!!!!   

Looks great!

I don’t know why,but I’ve never been able to just sit and relax! Give me 10 minuets of idle time and I’m bored. So in between waiting for plumbing, ABS drain pipe, to set up and the weather to break so I can paint the front end, I decided to start a new endeavor! Billet front grills.

 

We’ll see how it goes? May be scrap in the end!

Cool idea.

First pass at the rough in got a ways to go though.

Well, it's NOT scrap.  Amazing work as always buddy.

Well not yet, but still have the left side and the two hood scoop inserts to go! The first one always the easiest. Trying to make a reserved duplicate is the tough part!

 

Still have to do a semi gloss black paint on the under lying skeletal structure to make everything except the outer bezel & diamond pattern disappear

Good to know, glad you had a good time! How was the copper & aluminum oxidation from winter?
