    Have you SEEN a 1g mx6? It's two squares and a rectangle. I feel REALLY sorry for Andy....

    It gets even easier with an Erebuni front bumper, since that squares out the "overbite" pretty nicely.

    Best part, no one else will have an easier time making it look like their Challenge car! Jeep = Brick! FTW! YAY!

    Think we can build the whole Pinewood Jeep in the parking lot?

    I'll loan you my grinder if you promise to use it, and let me take pics.

    FWIW Tanner Brown placed third in our local PWD, he built a indy racer with a big removeable rear wing that covered ballast made of coins. We would have finished better but in the final three runs someone (Tanner) dropped it and knocked the formed graphite spacer out of one wheel. It slowed considerably after it happened (drag and alignment off). The kid won overall was a second year champ, his brother won three years in a row prior to that... His dad builds a mean car.

    What if a solar generator is used that only converts, not stores the energy?
