progress. well, next step is scribe out the final lines that need to be cut . and mark where the holes that will be tapped are going to be . my cousin has a friend who works at a machine shop and volunteered to do the rest of the cutting, tapping and dying and what not , so that's awesome. tomorrow at some point I mark out all the metal with detailed explanation's of what I want done. then send it to my nephew who will give it to his bud then I wait. when I get it back , I weld it all together. meanwhile I buy handles for arm and tracking and so on. cant wait .
