Week 11: Getting the frame done

One of the most exciting days working on the car yet! this week I removed the car from the table after completing the last few pieces. On this picture if you look on the side of the frame there are two diagonal tubes and those were the last four pieces to complete the main frame. Although the car is not complete the frame is and this was very reliving, I was afraid i wouldn't even have it done for the presentation. Now what I have to do to the frame is go around to all the tube connections and weld them all together. right now they are all tacked together, meaning that its just a little weld so its easy to fix any mistakes that I might have made. The one thing that has really amazed me is the amount of time it actually takes to built this. Before I begun the project back when I was planning everything out I thought for sure I would be able to have the car completely done and running by now. The thing is I'm no where near that. I have the most important part done and now its all up to fitting everything together but its not close to done. So far its been lots of fun and I'm very excited to see the finished product.
