I set out to build an engine plate that I could work from, but it quickly developed a life of its own lol. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) There’s a reason behind the design of every part, but I also set out to work with materials I had on hand along with some steel sourced from Home Depot.

i like the way you can elevate to comfortable working ht and sit on a chair? Exactly. Sitting height and 360 access. I plan on putting the 996 in storage for a month (probably more) while I do this so, I’ll have the motor on on one side of the garage and the chassis on the quick jacks on the other. |
