One of the greatest things about being involved in a community workshop group like the Columbus Idea Foundry is that you get to see other people’s projects come together before your very eyes. Our fellow Foundry member Todd Perkin has been plotting his Inhaler Hot Rod for some time but now that it’s getting towards the final few months of the build his vision is really coming together and lots of folks are lending a hand.
The Inhaler received some generous material support (batteries) from the Buckeye Bullet electric land speed car project which was one of the last big hurdles to making this car a reality. Several other Foundry members have also jumped onboard and now there is an official Inhaler pit crew which is awesome to see everyone helping out. The project has also had some good local press coverage and was just featured on the Gas 2.0 blog yesterday.
If you want to see the project in person and/or talk electric car / hot rod building with Todd & company, the car will of course be on display at the Foundry on Saturday, August 20th for the www.ToolRaces.com. An event not to be missed!
