First drive

I fabbed up a crappy seat tonight with a skillsaw and some wire loop action, and tacked the seat struts in place.

Putting it together helped highlight the distance between the engine and seat and where the seat struts needed to go, and at what angle. I'll also be able to finish the steering column mount on the front axle and get the angle right in relation to the offset seat position.

This thing is HARD to get into. It may get better once I cut down the sides of the seat. I didn't have my Dad's scrollsaw on hand so I had to hack it out in blocks. Still turned out pretty well. It's a little tight for someone over 6', but that's not the "target audience" so it should be just right.
