I advised on mounting the ammeter below the line of the "hood" so the wind wouldn't wack it, and then add a mini-cross-brace so it wouldn't flop around.

Their projects have been building the last few years. The propane car has a VERY NICE solid fiberglass body with sponsors, but the electric only has a really simple sheet metal body.

It sounded like body work was going to be next years main thing.
