I've been trying to work on all the stuff thats I know is a real PITA and takes lots of time. Building a cage looks really impressive, but really doesn't take much time, so I've been trying to concentrate on all the annoying bracketry and layout stuff. Unfortunately this stuff isn't nearly as impressive looking and at the end of the days I just dont feel like I'm getting much done. Also I've been working alone most days lately. You may have heard that my friend Wayne injured his hand at TDS, and as such has been unable to come into the shop. Though we annoy each other and bicker a lot we also usually come up with some good ideas and force each other to get things done, and have a lot of fun along the way. I'm really hoping his hand will start feelin better so he can get back down to the shop, at least to toss ideas around with. I highly doubt he'll be using many power tools anytime soon, but at least it might get me more motivated to get things done, and to not halfass anything.

Today I took on the job of mounting the brake master cylinders and pedals. I'm using a dual pedal setup from CNC that has individual pedals for front and rear brakes. In addition the rear brakes will also run through the cutting brake handles I mounted last week, so I'll be able to brake either rear wheel independently. Because of the way the chassis tubing runs up front the masters needed to be offset towards the center of the car. To get the pedals in the right spot they needed to have a dogleg bent into em.
