To fasten the carbon fiber under tray to the chassis this system was developed. It allows the silver "locating tab" to be permanently mounted to the body while the red bracket is welded to the vehicle. The under tray is raised from above and located by the pin. A threaded T handle then draws the body against the chassis. The two lock nuts allow for clamping force adjustment.

Wind Tunnel Model
To verify computational fluid dynamic studies done on the 350mph+ vehicle, a 1/3 scale wind tunnel model was constructed and tested on a rolling road wind tunnel. Yep you guessed it, the whole thing was modeled in CAD long before the CNC machines started to cut the body. This particular model was made with interchangeable nose, tail, and fin sections to test multiple body configurations quickly. All the pieces are shown below.

Intro
I like to think of this as ART, the Engineering way. This blog will be my "portfolio" of CAD work. Enjoy!
