More components! The hardware (bolts, nuts, etc.) and idler wheels were delivered
It turns out the Sear technician ordered the incorrect part for the drill press so I have to wait another week until I receive the proper handle. I've made though by using a vise grip and its working just fine for now. So with that said, I drilled all the holes for the front and back sections of chassis this weekend. The welder said the base rectangle is almost done. We are a little behind schedule in that sense, but we should be fine. Hopefully, he can get it finished up soon.
I went to Garelick Steel in North Minneapolis to purchase the aluminum for the suspension carriers and the exterior plating, but did not find what i need. I didn't have the sizes prepared correctly so I'll either have to order online or through Checker Machine Inc.
