Gunn High School Speedster Project

Students attached the new flywheel and magnets, obtained from Bill Bratt, to the speedster engine. They then checked for the proper clearance between the magneto coils and the magnets. They also checked the transmission shaft for concentricity with a dial indicator and found the shaft within 0.002". Good start. Another group began to assemble a transmission for the knowledge and skills.

 

 These three photos show the painted speedster body being installed on the speedster frame.

Congratulations to the Meneeley's, Beaman's, Christensen's and Nadine Camicia for receiving a "Certificates of Appreciation" for their work with the Auto Tech students on the Speedster project. The recognition came from the Gunn High School Parent-Teacher-Student Association at their Recognition and Awards Luncheon on Thursday May 24th, 2007.
