Build progress and car launch

Well as you can guess, we are all feeling a little worn out but the fight continues.

CMT vs the clock. We wish we could stop time and complete the car in a day but we are that fortunate. We have made steady progress and the car is looking very close to completion but just not quite there.

With more late design changes being made we are awaiting the re-work on a few of our machined parts (namely diff half shaft bearing seals amoungst others).

Most of the welding required on the chassis to accomodate all the auxillary gear in the car has be done, with special thanks going to a past team member (Rob Lipowiec) for coming in and generously lending a hand with his tig welder.

Also our favourtie technician Mike 'Spud' Holland for putting in hundreds of hours of welding and machine time, particularly because his wife is about to give birth at almost any moment now.

It must be said that CMT could not function if it weren't for the extra special efforts of the uni technical staff each year and it seems we always have one or two past team members coming in the lend a hand when it gets the the pointy end of the build.

Unfortunately it looks like car launch may be pushed back to Friday this week as we await the boday work (fingers crossed finished Wednesday) but we will keep you updated on that as we learn more.

For now it's back to the build and keeping the faith that we can get there........I think I can I think I can....
