Yesterday I placed the rear panel on the car for the first time since making several changes during the last 6-months to the internals correcting the over heating issues I had. I knew that taking the radiators from the pods and installing a single unit at mid-ship (between the cockpit and the engine) would require some refitting of the panel so my day was spend evaluating what needed to be done and I slowly began to make those adjustments.

It's not completely corrected at this point but I have confidence that with a bit more tweaking the large rear panel will once again slide into place as it had done before. The major change needed will be to form twin blisters to accommodate the upper-outside corners of the radiator (see red circle).

I'm still waiting on the NCDMV to return the documentation for registration, title and licensing. Hopefully that will arrive by the end of this week and we will add a new member of the 'street legal' club. I won't celebrate until the Custom 2011 classification VIN number is placed onto the Mabaan's frame by the Inspector. At that time... I surly will!

I received a call from NCDMV Inspector R. this afternoon wanting to set-up a time on Friday to attach the 'Custom Built 2011 VIN' to the Mabaan.

Next stop ... file for a title, pay registration fee, notify insurance company and hit the highways and byways!!!!!!!

It's been a long time coming but worth it!
