Week 11-Cardboard Car5/8/2024 Project for another class.
This week, I was absorbed with a project that I procrastinated on doing for a tad bit too long. I had to spend all this week working on a cardboard car for automotive. Although, this does directly represent what I am working on for my project, it is still beneficial to me learning and gaining problem solving skills. Throughout this project, I had to make everything inside and out. I started by making a body. This would give me shape that I could build the interior and frame around. Next, I found a way to make it roll. For this I welded a couple of small studs together and then threw some washers on it, which is how it rolls. After having the wheel situation figured out (which was the hardest part), I worked on creating a model engine out of cardboard. I made a regular v8 engine with transmission and driveshaft to put in this car, and I feel that I did a VERY good job. I installed all of these things with hot glue. After finishing up all of this, I worked on making an interior. I used cardboard cut outs and napkins as the bolsters for the seats, this made the seats have a squishy realistic feeling. I then made a dash and got along to painting everything. I painted the body, frame, wheels, interior, and everything else. I used clear plastic from a container for the windows, and ordered a set of headlights off of amazon. I feel as if I did really good on this project.

I like that you were able to incorporate something other than just the project for English.
