I've been busy over the weekend. I've now got the basic shape of the chassis tack welded together. I ran into a couple of problems, e.g. 1 of the uprights was slightly too big and was forcing a bottom chassis rail upwards, so it was no longer flat on the board, i only noticed this after welding the top rail on (it required a bit of force to get it into the right position, this to me should have been an immediate alarm bell that something was wrong). It has now all been sorted and everything seems to be of the right dimension.
From now i'll be adding in extra members to strengthen the chassis, it will then be moved forward on the board by 750mm and the back from will be constructed from there. I have uploaded a couple of more pictures to show you what i have done so far.
Please ignore the roll bar resting on the front frame, i kept tripping over it so i put it on the table and forgot to put it back when i took the pic.
