      The first chassis tube is in place! :)

      In preparation for the chassis construction, I first leveled my old vertical mill. This will make it a lot easier to get the correct angles of the tubing notches.

      After that I used the info from my CAD model of the chassis to cut and notch the rear floor transverse tube, which is the one most logical to start with. I had to think a few times to make sure that all the angles were correct and pointing in the right direction. To my surprise, I got it right the first time! I just had to sand the notches a little bit to get a nice fit. Not only did it fit well, it ended up perfectly aligned and in the correct position too! I used both lasers to position the tube before tacking it in place.

      This feels really nice. Now I have a good base to build from!
