Despite the summer, there's still work to be done

With just a little under a month until we arrive in Cresson, Texas, for scrutineering, we've made some major headway towards finishing Tigergen I. She now has a fully body, and all that is left is to cut out the window and the door before we paint it. So far the plan is to ship the body out on Monday.

And major work has been completed on the car's frame. We're in the progress of designing and creating the mounts for the car's brake system. Some work is still left to be done on the steering and brakes that will be wrapped up in the next few days. Also, our DC/DC board will soon be back after it's fine-tuning.

So soon we'll be testing the car, and there will definitely be some video of the car's first few drives. They'll be posted on Youtube and will be accessible from here.

Also, linked to this blog is a Twitter account that will be updated as we drive throughout the day on the race, and even as we do little things around the lab here in Columbia.
