Qantas called and they need that wing back so QF1 can depart for London!

Well they shouldn't have sold it then!

They needed the money

Now we're talking!

Why do the cuts in the rear quarter panels have two smaller slots on one side and a continuous slot on the other? Not critiquing just genuinely interested! Not enough clearance to angle it in from below due to the other (fuel or oil system) bracket?

Can't wait to see the rest of the aero package.

Me too. This is an example of the composite work quality of the guys who are executing my aero package. A former F1 engineer was recently heard saying that their composite work is the best he has seen in Australia to date. That gets me rather excited.

its a low res pretty noisy pic but man that looks like some really high quality work.

anyone who has attempted any composite work will appreciated just how hard it is to get a finish half that good.

Nice! Do you wish there were 5 of you sometimes?

There should be 5 Danny's around the NC. the CX9 can go without a wash for a few weeks

There was five of us (not me) around the NC yesterday Regie.

Good progress was made.

...don't forget hot pink!

The intake airbox was finished this week with the latches added to the removeable section.

The locking tab pockets were added to the fixed section of the intake.

The catches were attached as well.

The throttle cable bracket/injector plug retainer was zinc plated and fitted.

....and ta-da!!!

Cheers,
Danny

Congrats on the article Danny, it was very well written as well as portrayed you as a very genuine person who cares very much about his children (cars).
