^these are old pics from the first day of building. i decided to scarp that frame there and weld up my own since the first one was going to be shared between me and marco. brought down my dads welder and started welding up a new one.

sky's new soap makes me bitter. time to sabotage his soap some how.

we'll update as it goes on. hoping to get it on wheels this weekend. have alot of fab work to get done for the rear axles/wheels/brakes.

I got squidd's old frame, building my own design out of it, Since he got the INdy series of all soapbox racers.. Just have to play more aggressive to keep up!
