In the Works

We are in the process of hooking up the steering cables and pulleys. We are working very diligently on trying to get the car at least operational before our spring break which is in about 4 weeks. The purpose of getting it operational so early is in order to have plenty of testing time just in case some problems occur. We have to make sure we get all the kinks worked out before race day, which is April 27th.

Framework

We are still continuing to work on the frame of our vehicle. We have placed the sprocket and other components on the drive axle and have it in place. we also have the side rails of the frame in place and welded on. We also have put the firewall in place. This is to keep the driver from accessing the engine. We just started working on calculations for the steering. Using rear wheel steering with cables and pulleys, this step takes a lot of consideration.
