This Sat, I started getting the two bike chassis connected, these are temporary obviously, but it will allow me to get all the dimensions set and the frames plumb and square. I can also start on the steering bracket fab. It is quite amazing how stiff these simple attachments made the buggy. Once the frames are exactly where they will be located, I will be able to cut down the golf cart differential, and get the axles shortened. The diff is in the basic location that it will be in when finished, except raised up to the centerline of the swing arm pivots. Baby steps, but progress none the less. The storage building is very hot as it's about 103 here, so long days working is not feasible yet.
