The rear wheel well was the most difficult engineering problem on the car to solve. It almost stopped the project cold. Finally, we just decided to get a BIG billet of aluminum and start carving. I thought the quote from Hannibal was appropriate here, "We will either find a way--or make one." referencing his crossing of the Alps on the back of elephants. It is extremely difficult to stop someone who is determined to succeed.
