Didn't get the box yet. Checked the tracking and it says should be here today. Can't wait! For the frame, You're correct, I'm going to be bolting it all and using lock washers since it's not going to be an off road vehicle. As far as the rolling chassis goes, Everything I buy for this project...

Was able to hit the scrap yard yesterday and picked up some frame rails. Aluminum 2' square tubing. I'm not worried about welding as the vehicle won't see barely any off road action if at all. Being able to use the alloy rails shaved off quite a bit of weight already (about 40lbs!). The rear...

With the pulley shaft being on the top of the mower transmission/rear axle i'm going to turn it the axle forward 90' remove the pully and...

Sent you a PM about this, Could REALLY use this for a project I just started! :)
