As you can see, the entire front half is entirely aesthetics (ie,
unnecessary for function).  I'm not that happy with the looks of the car,
and it's awefully slow, but I think it's pretty cool that the motor fits in
such a small space.  I guess the next challenge will be to hide a regular
size motor in a five-stud wide van and maybe add some steering...

(...) I've found that when it comes to adding steering to very small vehicles, it's easiest to do articulated steering. It's simply easier to make a small vehicle that bends in the middle than one with regular rack-and-pinion steering. Fredrik (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.build)
