Welding the frame
This is our frame that we started to tack weld. Thanks to Smitty's we were able to learn how to weld and then we got help on tack welding it together. We completed the back half, and the front bumper that we will have to redo because our material was too thin and the welder was too strong for the material. We learned how to use a welder, zip wheel, grinder, die grinder, and a chop saw. This was a great learning experience for all of us.

PVC mock-up Frame
The frame group got together and made this mock-up frame out of pvc, so that we could place it into the carbon fiber body and determine if the frame design would be correct.Before we made the pvc mock-up we taped out the outline onto the floor. We had to do this because of the complex geometry of the carbon fiber body.

Final Full Frame Design
This is the full frame assembly with many of our other components like the motor mount, seat, and suspension.
The picture shown is a screenshot of the inventor file we have made so that we can get as precise as possible before we actually have this made. We have done this so that when we do have to make adjustments they will be minor and there will not be as many as if we were to have done this without this software.
