Frank > Stainless steel is hard to machine, but after many coats of oil things start coming together.
Frank > You can see Justin working the lathe.
Frank > Almost done with the inner diameter of the shaft. We recycled the shavings.
Frank > Justin is the man, this project would not be possible if Justin was not involved. Here he is testing the fit of the stainless steel shaft.
Frank > A couple more turns and it will be done.
Frank > Now Justin cuts a big hole in the aluminum plate for the shaft of the motor to go through. We are real close at this point to mounting the motor.
Frank > Justin finishing off the main hole in the aluminum slab.
Frank > Installed new HEAVY duty shocks on the bug. We had to use a jack to install them. The spring tension on these shocks is so good that after we installed the shocks and lowered down the Bug, the Bug remained pretty much at then same height it was before. Justin and myself sat in the back area of the Bug to try and weight the Bug down but had little or no effect. This is good because with a full line of batteries going in next the weight will be over 1/2 ton.
Frank > The Aluminum plate now cut for the internal shaft and mounted.
