1/4 keg for me.  You're on your own.

This is a fantastic build and proves that with enough time and MONEY you can build something truly epic from what would otherwise be considered a lost cause. Kudos to you guys, and I'm looking forward to seeing it at Capitol Offense.

Fixed again.  Fuel cells alone, if done correctly, can be $1000 alone.  sad

Ours is not an FIA cell so it didnt cost that, we had hoped to use one to appease the tech guys but no dice once we saw the cost.

The car, including safety should still be coming in under the GRM $2010 budget cap so its not alot of money, this is not an uber cheaty build, just alot of scrap parts cobbled together.

Jim you gotta air that baby out and get it running long enough to go up and down the block. Love the build man, I may have to ask you to start making fenders with that neato bead roller when I get one of my dream projects going.

Re: Still plugging away

I'm really hoping we at least get our traditional "one trip around the block" before we go.  Still lot's to do though.

Re: Still plugging away

I'm coming up short here - 21 to drink, -7 years = 14 years old.  16 years old to drive...  Unless you were in some legal trouble...

Nope, no legal trouble. Yup, I'm fourteen. I don't drive, just instigate and organize the team. I'm not sure if I'll ever be any good at driving, but I really like the mechanical work. Though it's illegal for me to make money off it until I'm 18, unfortunately.

Huh?  I had a job at 14.
