Thanks guys. I am really happy about her right now. I just need to remember to keep the pace slow and steady so I don't screw anything up.
I hope to have more in the next few days.
Thanks again to all of you for looking in.

Thanks Andy. It is nice to see all of her green.
I didn't get much done on her today, but I am off Sunday, so I do hope to have a lot more to show early next week.

Thank you very much Leon. I think she will look real good when I get the fenders installed.

Thanks Ray.
It shouldn't be too long now.
Like I said, I just need to remember to keep the pace slow and steady.

Hello everybody, It was a pretty good few days on Katy. The front fenders are still not fitting the way they need to, but I was ready for that. They are a little bit too long right now. Believe it or not, this was intentional. I still need to lower the mounts for the fenders, but all of this should be done in a few days.   Thanks again guys. P.S. 27 days til Indy!! |

Thanks Leon.
She is (finally) starting to look like a truck.
My bad on the count. It's 24 days till her debut.

It won't be long now pal. I know why the fenders aren't sitting right, and what I need to do, so they should be on her probably Friday (fingers crossed).

Hello guys. I finally figured out what I was missing on the front fenders. The fix was pretty simple, just a piece of .015 sheet. They should be trimmed and fitted tonight and tomorrow.  Of course, I had to see what the launcher looks like in place.  Thanks again guys. |
