Over the weekend

I was able to finish disassembling the suspension. I proceeded to paint any parts not painted on the previous weekend. This evening I was able to spray a little paint. Today was just touch up/second coat on a couple parts. Unfortunately lighting conditions were not ideal and I got a couple runs on one of the lower arms.

Over the weekend I also successfully installed the fuel sample port. This was very easy to do. This is purpose of this port is to provide a place where your race sanctioning body can test your fuel to ensure you aren't using something you're not supposed to be. It involves splicing the port into the supply line to the engine. In order to get a little extra length I purchased some additional high pressure fuel line from the local auto parts store and splice it in by removing the soft hose from the hard line, and adding some additional line between the existing end of the hard line and the end of the soft line. It puts the port in a much more accessible place.
