YES, THERE'S MATH TO ALL OF THIS Notice how we didn't describe the wall thick- nesses of our fabrications? Or that we didn't get into much detail about exactly how we made our deci- sions during the swap? That's because we're saving all of that for a future story. Spoiler alert: It involves math and science. While we tend to be rule-of-thumb fabrica- tors, we like to make our major decisions based on the physical properties of our materials and how they deal with the forces our cars put upon them. Stay tuned as we describe how to go from "seems thick enough" to "I did the calculations." "An egged-out hole from bad alignment is not acceptable."
