Just want to thank you all again for your support and encouragement. It really means alot. You guys are awesome!

While preparing new footage I stumbled on this video I never uploaded. The school bus has since been powder coated grey! =)

I was able to make the tank fit by turning it slightly and grinding down some of the over lapping 1708 corner tabbing. My non degradable flat rubber spacer strips also fit under the tank, it was nice and snug but it worked. I'll talk a lil bit about the tank in an upcoming vid. I will also speak for a second on my cleats, capping the stringers, and preparing the undersides of the floor pieces. I think that might get us caught up.

I've started to use the Air Pro 3 by ION. It's an action camera. I'm using it on a head strap harness thingy. It's working out pretty good. Now you can actually see what I'm doing. I'm trying to solve some minor motion and audio problems but overall I'm pleased with the results.

Anybody hear from georgesalmon? I wonder how he's doing?

Yea it was brutal, and to add insult to injury it was like 102. I was getting cranky which is unusual for me. I wasted about 20 ounces of resin which I had'nt done in a long time, my 1808 was unraveling, I had to make a few relief cuts, the audio on my air pro 3 was crap, just one thing after another. On the bright side, it was a very productive day. I got alot accomplished despite all the little annoyances. I better see if i can squeeze into a xxl tyvex (homedepot's largest size) and if not go online for a big and tall tyvex suit! :D
