The Solar Jackets had another productive weekend!  The CV joints are unbolted, the front end removed, the gas tank mostly gone and the shop has been cleaned and organized.  

But enough chit-chat, let's get to the pictures!

We are just that good.

Eric holds one of the three heat-shielding panels on the underside of the car protecting the fuel tanks, fuel lines and computers from the heat of the exhaust system.

When you need torque, use Wrench-Aid!  Also doubles as a hacksaw (uses broken blades).

Our ingenuity is ingenious.

Andrew Soltis chuckles at the poor saps removing heat-shielding (it was not easy).

Hey guys, can you spare a pipe?

The purpose of using the pipe was to keep the siphoning tube straight in the gas as it had a tendency to curl.

Compare this picture with the next, let's see if you can spot what's different.

Got it yet?  Solution at the end of the post.

Project Manager John Forrest is sporting his 1950's mechanic's suit, distinguishing him from the rest of us.

If anyone has an idea on how we can get customized letters like these TT's on the back of the car, that'd be swell.  The idea to add "EV" to the TT's was floated Saturday with approval by all.

Borm tags a part that came off the car.  Organization and cleanliness took precident during Sunday's work session.

Corbin and Andrew Vischio work together in removing parts of the fuel tank with a drill.  Yes, a drill.  Safety concerns ruled out the use of the circular saw, using a hacksaw was too slow and inefficient and the utility knives would not cut the plastic.

Many thanks to the guys who spent part of their weekend getting greasy, organizing the shop and discussing how to remove the engine.  The club only gets things done because you put in the effort.

I am uploading the two time-lapse videos (one for each day) and another that shows the shop to our Youtube channel.

See you jokers Tuesday,
