It made a hard work week (cutting out the squares in the chassis), and a VERY hard weekend to get this done. I was in my garage all weekend drilling and tapping about 50 holes, then getting them to line up properly...lets just say it took all of Saturday to drill the holes, then all of Sunday to get them to line up with some improvisations and custom engineering with a hammer, c-clamps, various files and a dremel.

Tomorrow when she's back in school, we're going to fix any addtional bolt issues, bolt on the baseplate and motors, space the wheels, put on the chain, and get her moving by tuesday. More pics to follow.
