February 25, was the first official work day for our newest teammate, Tyson Russell. He is a peer from our Automotive class, taught by Mr. Garcia, and an excellent artist. Along with helping in the construction of the Mazda, he will take the job of formulating a few renderings of paint schemes and designs.
Having introduced our latest member, here is an update on our progress:
1. Our original cardboard bumper has been scrapped and replaced with new one which has been made more aerodynamic for our rear wing.
2. The doors are mounted onto their permanent location. We will remove them to add some reinforcements at a later date.
3. The hood pins and supports have been installed. This means that the fiberglass hood won't warp, deform, or fly off and decapitate someone during high-speed runs. That would be bad...
4. Possible paint schemes and designs have been discussed.
We cannot wait to see what our in-house artist comes up with; we will post a couple renderings as they are made.
