    Should be at least two AI cars... And I saw Dennis Tanker's car today at the dyno. It's been turned into a proper AI car.. I won't give away the secret sauce.

    Spent the day recreating my splitter. Some dumbass (me) left it out behind the shop after cleaning it last weekend. Somebody picked it up for recycling I'm sure...

    So, I'm about $225 in materials and 7 hours into the fab job... Have about 2-3 hours left. Yea!!

    Damn, I'm surprised you're not using plywood, did you have a template?

    Thankfully I did have a template, so it hasn't been too bad. I'm just about done.

    It was not worth hauling for scrap. We sell several thousand lbs. at a time and get more than most for it and we are only getting $.55 per lb. Only paying around $1.25 per lb for new sheet (5052 H-32.

    I'm totally not surprised. A few years ago someone cut the catalytic converter out of my mom's 15 year old 4runner in a movie theater lot, for the platinum/palladium that's in it...
