CalSol has progressed massively since our last shell team update! At our previous check in we had only finished one of our 8 fiberglass molds, completed zero carbon fiber layups, and we had a long way ahead of us. Now every mold has been finished, brought to a perfect shine, and 2 of the 8 parts of our car have been baked into flawless carbon fiber shells!!! You can’t imagine how happy and excited the team is that the body of our car is coming together!
