Hi Davro,

That's a really nice bit of work - I like it a lot! Only two problems I can see:

1) You misspelt Davro :lol:

2) Now that you've got that super-blingy blue bit on your engine, you're going to have to polish the rest of it to match, you do realise that don't you? Can't have just one shiny bit.... :doh:

Seriously, lovely work, it makes me want to break out the aluminium and get cutting again.... unfortunately, I'm on the move again and all shop work is currently on hold :(

I'd also be very interested in a write-up on your anodizing setup, I've wanted to try it for a while & haven't had the guts... :coffee:

davro:
Cheers AdeV

misspelt Davro LOL :) number plate is d4xro, it's a Dax my nickname is davro ala daxro :smart:

Have plans to get another busa engine and turbo or supercharge it, but first I'm making moulds from the aging grp glass fiber body work and making carbon products.

I will do a write up soon on my anodizing process, I just have to finish my current project, making a carbon fiber scuttle for Daxro I have done the mould just need to finish laying it up and do an infusion.

kayzed1 are you etching your parts before anodizing ? I use this product for stripping and etching http://gaterosplating.co.uk/Anodise-Stripper-and-Etch.php

AdeV:
Ooh, nice. Dax Rush? I am lusting after a Tojiero, but too many projects and not enough money...

I'd be very interested to see your carbon fibre infusion (vacuum I assume?) too... something I will be doing with various XJS panels in the future. The bonnet and doors especially, they must weigh a million tons each! (For any Americans reading, that's one billion pounds in your units).

Where do you get your CF from? I bought 50 square metres from easycomposites.co.uk for £10/sqm, they call it "black stuff", cheaper than normal CF because they run the machines 30% faster, so it flys out. But has minor flaws like dropped threads... No good if you're doing decorative work, but great for inner sheets. Personally I'll use it for everything, 'cos I'll be painting it.
