In my spare hour or two for the last few days I've been working on cutting, grinding, or welding. Today I finished the four pieces that connect to the front A-arms. Each one is made out of four separate pieces of 3/4" square tubing. The pieces opposite the A-arms have holes drilled in them for the steering pivot.

Today I finished the four A-arms. I set it up with the wheels and took a picture. It's about 4'3" between the outer edges of the wheels.

I don't feel like I've accomplished much as of late. Today I finished cutting all the metal for the front A-Arms, as you can see in the picture. It took a long time. I'm in school now, so I only get a couple hours in the afternoon, and being a perfectionist I don't get much done. Usually I make four cuts or so. A lot of work goes into this.. ever measurement must be precise and accurate, and to prepare a piece for a weld it must be ground flat and cleaned around the eges.

The welder came a couple days ago, and since then I've been practicing welding. My welds still need a lot of work, but I've started the frame anyway. Maybe not the best idea. Below is a picture of what I made today - it will hold the two electric motors as well as batteries and motor controllers for the front wheels. You can see where the A-Arm suspension will attach.
