It’s been a busy month and I haven’t had a single moment to work on the car. I’ve got a couple more weeks of craziness and things should slow down enough to give me my weekly work session again. After being a consultant for past few years, I finally decided to get a “real” job. I’m now building underwater robots and submarines. It’s really exciting to start working in a field that is so different from anything I’ve done before. I’m learning how to make technology work in very harsh environments. Some of these skills will definitely help in making the car more robust.

Lately, every time I work on my car, I forget to bring my camera. So, there are no recent pictures. Sorry…
Even though I can’t prove it with pictures, I’ve been making some major steps the past few weeks. The big one is that the body is now mounted. YEAH!!! It took eight tubes of 3m 5200 adhesive and a week to cure, but it is permanently on there. I’ll try to remember the camera this weekend.
I’m now onto the daunting task of the doors. They truly define that “Lamborghini style” and they need to work smoothly. So, I am taking some extra time to plan my attack. The doors end up weighing around 250Lbs and are supported by a single hinge just a few inches wide. So, everything has to be very rigid.
