Ira Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 Really great progress Ira. I could see your beast running across the salt setting a speed record.. Thanks Carl! With a change of tires, the Beast could be a Bonneville Racer, that would be a Fun Project...
Ira Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 Windshield for the Beast! I made Windshield Posts from strip plastic and glued them in place with Zap-A-Gap. More Coming...

Ira Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 Maybe with this roof this your driver can get in and out greg Great Idea Greg! But an Ejection Seat and Roof Panel with Explosive Bolts would be Faster...
Ira Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 Sticky Pipes! I just started using Aves Apoxy Sculpt. It is a thick epoxy Modeling Compound, that can fill Large Gaps and be Shaped. After mixing the Apoxy, I rolled it into "Snakes". I stretched the Snakes to fill the grooves in the backside of the Headers. Next I cut 2 lengths of Aluminum tubing to fit over the ends of the Headers. More Coming...
Ira Posted November 14, 2014 Author Posted November 14, 2014 BTW, will the Moon Beast be at NNL West in Santa Clara? This will be my first NNL West and it would be great to see this in person! Chris Thanks Chris! Yes, I plan to be at NNL West next year. See you there...
Ira Posted November 14, 2014 Author Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Smooth Pipes! I attached the 2 Lengths of Aluminum Tubing to the ends of the Pipes with Zap-A-Gap. Then I put some Apoxy on the seam and pressed it to fit around pretty well. Next I put a little water on my finger and smoothed the Apoxy down pretty well. I will still need to sand a little in the morning. More Coming... Edited November 14, 2014 by Ira

Ira Posted November 14, 2014 Author Posted November 14, 2014 Shinny Pipes! I lightly Sanded the Pipes and Sprayed them with Tamiya Silver Leaf. I also added & painted a few more details. I glued the Pipes in with Zap-A-Gap. I really like the look of the Aluminum Tubing at end of the Pipes. Here is the other side. More Coming...
