Purpose: |
Build
a stock car for auto class and alumni interaction. Many of
our alumni continue to be involved with Gunn Auto Tech. These
alumni visit class and attend extra curricular activities
with the current Gunn students. This interaction provides
an opportunity for the exchange of ideas concerning college
and career opportunities. |

Highlights: |
This
car was built by Auto I students in the fall of 2001. It was
created by merging the best parts from two donated cars. Students
learned to realize the need for component compatibility between
model years. Example, an engine wiring harness from one year
may not work with an engine from a different year. When the
car was ready for competition, a last minute engine problem
was discovered. Seven alumni showed up and assisted with a
48 hour engine rebuild. |
