Abstract
For my senior project I plan on building a miniature car. The building of my car will consist of one 5-horse power engine, a 4 foot by 3 foot body mold made from fiberglass and mounted on a welded mild steel tubing frame. This car will have an electric starter on it. Additionally I will be sanding, priming and painting the car's body. My consultant will be Bob Eyler, the owner of a business that sells kit cars. The construction of the car will take place in the garage of Bob Eyler's residence.

Learning Steps
1. I will need to learn how to sketch out plans for the car mold.
2. I will need to learn how to make a jig, cut and weld a car frame.
3. I will need to learn how to make a fiberglass mold of the car.
4. I will need to learn how to set the gearing for the car.
5. I will need to learn how to mount and prep a 5-horse power engine.
6. I will need to learn how to paint like a professional.
7. I will need to learn how to plan my work out so this project will run as smoothly as possible.
