Electrathon Car Body



Pepe A friend of Russ, my welding instructor donated the material and helped cover our car body on Tuesday. Pepe is a surgeon and one of his hobbies is building airplanes, so he donated the same stuff you use to cover airframes with, for our body. The fabric is called Dacron, it's super light and strong and shrinks when heat is applied. It doesn't look like much now, but the current paint plan is a dark silver base coat with metalic orange stripes going down the sides and up the middle.
The first drive of the car is this sunday, so prey for the rain to stay away till monday please. I've had a super busy week with work and it's been super hard to get to the school to do the wiring that I've voluteered to do. I have to go in on saturday after a partial team ride(try to get 25miles in ).
