    Project Fuggly - No Longer Fuggly And Splashed!!!!!!

    Finally getting back to the last push on Fuggly. I got the last major project done today, the oil lines. By the way PTFE AN lines are a bit of a PITA to make up, hopefully the extra heat and pressure resistance are worth it. My camera on my phone really doesn't like to focus on black by the...

    Project Fuggly - No Longer Fuggly And Splashed!!!!!!

    Here is a bit of an update. I was wanting to work on the oil filter bracket this evening.....however it was HOT and humid. The Hangar has AC....the other shop with the fabricating equipment in it does not.....I was planning on adding that this year.....then a virus jacked up my budget. Anyhow...
