Default Re: Budget mini in three weeks.

Last night was a very special moment for me. In all my 27 years, I have never built something that I could drive, but last night that all changed.

Oh yeah, it's driving! We took about 10 laps up and down the street which was a mile or so total. According to my brother, it's faster than his mule at the golf course. Which leads me to the name of my creation....El Burro!

I think my goal of finishing is well within reach. My wife has given me a hall pass for the whole weekend to finish the bracing, Strip it down, and paint it up. I will pick up my harnesses this weekend, and reassemble monday-tuesday. I am also building some wheel spacers to widen the stance a little. I am currently about $200 into this thing and after I add the belts, I will be close to my $500 goal. All in three weeks.

Sorry, still no pics.
