Looking at the cooled air intake to see if I like it. It's growing on me so I'm going to finish this.

Couldn't get a good shot from the front of the car but I'll try again latter.

Hey Joe ... have you tested the air flow with one of those big box fans to see how much air will be forced into the engine bay?

Hi Mark, I was thinking about doing some digital recording when I get to the point where I am driving her but my real interest is in the intake air temperature. It would be nice if the atmospheric pressure went up also. I would like to make the plenum very large and unobstructed so the velocity stacks are unrestricted. Yesterday I was looking at the intake scoop and didn't like the line at the top. Now it's more inline with the tail of the targa fairing. In the picture above the upper corners are sticking out.
More pics.

Fiberglass is only hard to do because you have to do so much stuff to make it happen correctly. I know that I can make some functional scoops from the fiberglass parts that I get from this but what I'm looking for will not be so chiseled, ur ah angular.

So Mark, I have to give you a special thanks for an idea you have inspired. Carerror as a name for a car takes entirely too much time.
To quote you "AR 914" . But I like 914 AR (Assault Racer). I really liked"914 Light" but that car was done more than 20 years ago. Besides it was a 4 and mine is a -6 and she is lighter.

But after thinking about it I like it...

Carerror

AR 14

914 AR

Maybe I should open this up in The Garage and take some suggestions about a new name for Carerror. The more I think about it the more I like
AR 14.

Workig on the scoop now and really like the shape that I am getting from the foam. I need to do a bunch of body work to it so I can pull a skin from it and I will be a happy camper…

Ok you guys but I'm having a really hard time with this.
First of all Thanks Shane as I need some entertainment too... It is my sincerest wishes that no one reading this is under lockdown. Myself I am healthy at this time and staying at home except for food and Rx.
Carerror (AR 14), I still haven't decided yet. I really like the scoops and can't wait to see the shapes with them and the faired targa bar.
As l get closer with the Cold Air Intake I am thinking about the mounting of the rear wing. The rear wing and targa bar are ready to fiberglass. At that time I will probably glass the foils for the windmill also.
I sure am glad we have Elon, I don't think I could do space, I heard it's really hard.
Enough of my rambling, stay safe and I hope to hear from all of you in August...

OK I know we are all board to Falcon death as I really need to have some FALCON FUN. Don't know where I'm going to find it though.
When I was thinking about the Cold Air Intake I had no idea of what changes would need to be made in the engine bay. Looks like I'll need to move the oil tank breather. No big deal, a little bit of plumbing and it will be in the rear trunk area.
My options for the filler are small, leave it there or move the tank. Moving the tank means a hole new can of worms for me. There is only the stock cooler in the car. This can only put me off on another tangent that would make me more creative and evocative than I already am and take another 2 years to finish. Really, you know, A N lines, Mazda radiator out the in the back with duct work and a bank of fans with enough power to move the car.
As I degrees and realized that I am trying to out wait a Falcon chines bug and I will always be ongoing.
So for now I'll set my goals a little lower and just try to keep moving.
Sometime after day light I'll make up a box that I can use to mold the foam. I was messing with the block and saw a better way to handle this.
Stay Safe...

WOW!!! FIFTEEN THOUSAND Viewers... Except for the times that it is occurring in I'd be totally elated. So I'm only just elated.
Thank all of you for being here for me. You are what keeps me enthusiastic about AR 14. There it is, now I have put it in print so I guess I'll need to edit the header. I do feel some similarities there as the cars wings are clip on as are the options for an AR 15.
You know that I would like to set some goals but at this time I think I have to go for just what is in front of me. Foolish of me to even consider time now because the only thing I can make a change in is the name of a car.
On going, I am one on going Mother Falconer. I say it that way because spelling it correctly is offensive, this shows that I am at least paying attention to what's happening today. Elon is amazing as are his Falcons. After seeing one abort it's landing instead of crashing into OCISLY. It crashed into the sea. I thought that a Falcon could do a backflip...

Speaking of Falcons as I was, offentimes I do 4:20 on the back patio as it has a wonderful view. I have seen a few birds here and have some matting pairs of Falcons and Eagles. I have no idea how many Falcons but I believe only one pair of Bald Eagles. I have witnessed both take fish but the Falcon does areobatics for me. Last week a Falcon was flying by and picked a bird out of the sky. I didn't see it fall, what I saw was it at about 40' stall, hover, and do what looked like a backstroke and spiral down backwards landing next to a lump on the ground. Which it picked up and flew off with. The next time I saw a Falcon hover I had just walked out the back door and it was stalled at about 30' over the lake, it went right onto a Delta dive and crashed right into the water and came out and flew away with about 10" of fish.
