Yes, what Jon said. That's a hell of a lot of hard work and determination.

I really appreciate the write up with the photos. That is quite a process.

I think you need to move somewhere not so humid in order to produce these parts. Or find an atmosphere controlled space to work in.

Easier said than done of course. :smt045

Looking forward to the results of your fuel test in that tank. But you clearly know what you're doing and I know what the result will be. :smt023

Any chance you are making ignition covers out of carbon fiber? I saw one on a Spanish page for the YPVS and it was very cool!
