Odds n' Ends

I added some links for you guys to check out if you haven't already. You can find them on the right hand side of the page.

As for work, well, it's spring break and we have not had the hands needed to complete the lay-up. Despite that, progress is still being made. We had two important deliveries last Thursday: the machined aluminum suspension parts, and the steel tubing for the frame. We were also given a brief glimpse of the new design of the rear suspension, nicknamed "the dragon" after some artistic interpretation from Tim. David came in on Tuesday and cut the tubing down to size so it can be bent, fitted, and welded. The mold for the new steering wheel has been finished and is ready for lay-up. Abe came in again, and with the proper parts, finished opening the motor for us.

Progress to Date

We have finally finishing prepping the lab for body work and are excited to be moving forward with the work. We picked up the foam body mold from Grand Rapids last Friday and it looks great. Since then we have applied two coats of epoxy, to stiffen it up, and a top layer of epoxy mixed with micro glass beads to help smooth it out for priming.

























As for the frame, we have purchased the necessary tubing and are waiting for it to arrive. Parts of the suspension are also being machined for us at this time. On Tuesday we took apart the motor and front suspension from the previous car for analysis and ideas for modifications on the new car.

We would like to send a thank you out to all of the companies who have donated their time and resources to helping us reach our goal.
