Well since they have posted no updates since 2015 here is a bit on what they are up to.

 

Thank you very much for the update! With all that high tech stuff the thing I noticed was the shape of the nose, it looks a lot like the Land Speed Record holding Stanley steamer from 1906. Bob

 

It was great to see the liner on the Salt during speed week 2016. I never did see it run but we spent time in the pits talking with the team and heard it running while they were warming her up. Maybe one day I will get to see it make a pass. The detail is even more amazing when you see it in person.

 

Marlo picked the right guy for this build, I followed it on his build page.
I finally got to see it in the flesh at Marlos open house and it's pretty neat to see the "bones" without all the body panels installed.
