The thing with building a locost, similar to writing a blog, is to keep doing something. Even when you don’t feel like it, or you don’t think you’re quite up to it, DO SOMETHING. So tonight I took my first photos of the car in progress. That’s a bit of a stretch, as “progress” is simply me taking photos of the bodywork we bought several weeks back.
In my defense, I’ve been out of the country for two weeks. I was very fortunate to be able to spend a few days of my trip fly-fishing in Canada – what a wonderful experience. And I caught fish – three of them. One was over 24″, which is apparently quite good. I learnt a lot, and my fishing guide didn’t drown me (although at times I think he was tempted). The point of this slightly off-blog topic is that we have not been able to do anything significant on our racing car as a result.
The bright orange colour of the bodywork is less to do with taste, and more to do with finances. They were going cheap, and they can be repainted… But that decision is a LONG way off, so maybe they’ll stay orange.
The only other slight bit of progress is getting my hands on a copy of “the book”. It really is a useful document for figuring out how it all fits together (although we don’t exactly intend following the path of pure locost).
Onward and onward.
