I attached the bus bars, and soldered all of the mosfets and added all the gate resistors and what else... It's funny all the little details that I'm finding by actually putting it together that I never noticed before.

I also drilled the mounting board for the control board. Now I just need to wait for those 2" female on each end metal spacers to arrive. The power board is underneath. Then 2 inches up, there's the mounting board, and then about 1/4" above that there's the control board. Another irritating thing is the stupid piece of metal I'm using for the baseplate isn't wide enough for mounting the current sensors. I'm not sure what I'll do about that. It's just a prototype though. I guess sitting in the garage is good eough for testing.
