Design Work Feb 2022

 Lots of design work in February! I went through several iterations of frame design in CAD. I also utilized our 3D printer for each iteration. I think I am close to a final design. I am certainly able to start work on the main frame backbone (the 2x4 steel), but details like seat size, body position, etc. I am still trying to work out. Like I tell my boys, we can design this a million times in CAD easily but making changes once we cut and weld are a lot more difficult (and expensive)!

The final design will be based on the lowest one in the 3rd pic below.

I am taking a mental break basically. I was never able to fully recover from the damage the pandemic isolation caused to my mental health. So I am taking time off to focus on this project, art, music, supporting the kids, etc. No updates to the car since the las...
