Bellevue West High School Power Drive I

Tyler, Max, Taylor, and Jamal had the seat belt mount cut out and made for the car. They supervised the welds for the seat holsters and where they should be placed. All of us helped to create the five seat belt mounts. Also these students have been working on the roll bars from the beginning. They worked with the positioning and making of all roll bar supports. To make them they cut conduit at 40” long and had to bend them at a 25 degree angle.

These students also started rebuilding the motor mount but then ended up using one of the old one’s Mr. Nadgewick had from one of the older cars. Taylor than had to grind down both sides of the round tubing so it would easily slide in between where the other axle was located. Taylor and Luke started working on the front and rear axle which was cut out of 1” square tubing Currently they attached to the car they noticed that one of the angles was wrong and are currently in the process of fixing the angel.

Two Students Philip Caine and Jacob Eggert have been working on the nose piece in the front of the car. They have measured pieces of conduit to fit the nose then cut the pieces and bent them to fight the right dimensions. They sanded down around the area so they could be welded on to the car Luke and Mark. . Jamal and John helped get the sheet metal on to the nose of the car. Then they cut the sheet metal to size so they could be put on the car.

Four Students Kc, Tyler, Dan and Zach had made four small 1” round tubing and grinded down both ends to look like a half moon and then welded the tubing to both petal assemblies and then welded it to the car by Mark.
