What I've done all week (56K get with the times)

[low_psi]

Been working on my university's Formula SAE race team for the past 7 days and we've made tons of progress. When I came in last Thursday the jigs were completely empty and we've been working well into the mornings to get the chasis built up. Everything is getting triangluted as the top takes shape. Right now the frame should be ready to take off the jigs Saturday and the hard to reach nodes will be fully welded. Then comes a million and a half tabs! Lots of other little parts have been machined and the CNC mill has been in overdrive. About 95% of the car is built in house.

The chasis as of 1am EST, 1/20/2005

The 2003 & 2004 cars. The 2004 car kicked major ass at Solo2 Nat'ls in Topeka this year and took 1st place at a competition in Japan in October.
