Wow and the mount is so off center at the back - impressive!
Great work.

The beer keg is to keep it from rolling around. Each end is support 4 ft off the ground by a 2 inch metal pipe 16 feet long going down the center of the frame.

Clear the decks. The Viper is about to be fueled for full on attack, and I need your help. In the past recent purchases the cost of materials has risen to points that have almost double since this project as begun. So I am reaching out to help counterbalance the financial attack with a donation drive. Feel free to ask questions, or just go over and check it out, and make a donation.
Thank you all in advance for your support, and help.

Sorry nothing new. I was expecting a production company to help, but they back out and delayed my progress. I might get this back up and running soon.

My house isn't for sale, but I have been asked to sell it twice in the past 10 days. One of the offers is coming by tomorrow to take a look. I am motivated to sell with a generous offer. That can be used to finish this project off for G4.

OK back on track, and an all new build. Using my cockpit from Space Above and Beyond (SAAB) and a all new front end the work has begun.

As I mentioned before, I'm happy you are taking a new look at this. Although not 100% accurate the 'inspired' version should fit right in with the type of fan base that is BSG. Cylons and Colonials are a supportive bunch. ;)

Glad you are getting some heavy duty welding going. Something that size needs strength and a good frame.
