All in all, as a social  event, it was a success.  No one got to race, only 5 Elvas made the laps around the Glen, and those that did were COLD, and wet.  But still, we all got to see each other face to face,

instead of just emailing back and forth, so that was worth the time.  The Durango is now rebuilt, with its transmission working better than ever, due to a few better parts being used to make the repair, and my budget for the month is shot.

In the area in front of the flares, I shaved a LOT of material off with a long board (80-grit) to make the flare look more gradual.  Then, the whole thing was covered with more epoxy and microballoon.    It now has a much more natural-looking shape.   It’s not finished yet, but it is getting there.   The important thing to me is not to use much bondo in the end, because that just adds dead weight.  The next step will involve wetting out a scrim, a thin layer of glass to become the new top substrate layer before the primer.
