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.

Hey CONGRATULATIONS ! I still remember the first drive in my first build too. That's great that you have her running and working. Just wait until you go to the desert or the dunes and someone comes overe and says hey that thing is cool, where did you get it. That is when you stand really tall, inflate your chest as big as it goes and then explain that you built it from scratch. That's a pretty cool moment too. Have fun with it.
