Next step is to set up all the electrical wiring as well as present our project to Krauss and Dr. Culpepper.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So two great things happened this week: the 2 FREE I-beams came in and we got the brake calipers attached to the plates. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This is great news for all of us because we are able to continue our work on the solar Templar </div>

Another project we need to begin is mounting the brakes onto the the back plates. This is a picture of SKII's back wheel, so we need to model solar Templar off of this to get it's brakes set up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So hopefully we get this done soon </div>

With the help of Josh we finally got the plates we needed. Immediately after receiving the plates we successfully mounted the back wheel on the car.</div>

So all week we worked on removing these panels from the giant metal frame so we can make a new frame and put them on the solar Templar. It was quite a task and took a decent amount of time but all in all was a success. Unfortunately there may have been some solar panel casualties because some people were too rough while removing them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Lets hope for the best!</div>

Arthur just got word that Josh should be getting us the plates on Wednesday. Hopefully his predictions are correct because the waiting is starting to get to me. Progress has been so slow without the plates, and it is really putting us behind.<br />
<br />
Today we are going to work on the driver seat.

But once we receive them the show will get back on the road.<br />
Our goals to complete by next week by next week include:<br />
Installing the Hammock style driver seat<br />
Mounting the back tire<br />
Completely connecting all steering mechanisms<br />
I think after we get past the plate road block we will be going down a good path at a strong pace.<br />
