I talked to a machinist on the phone tonight.

I am going over to his place sometime Sunday to take the Metro trasmission and motors to show him what I am thinking for attaching the two.

Hopefully this guy will have some good ideas and charge a reasonable rate.

I always knew that getting the coupler and mounting plate done right would be the most complicated part of this. That is to say, something I wouldn't be able to do all by myself for cheap.

Once I get the motor plate and coupler, I should be able to keep chipping away on all the other parts of the project.
