This week we successfully mounted the electric motor to SK2 and we changed the suspension as well. Afterwords, we even began trying to attach the motor to the back wheels rotor with a chain. At the current moment, we cannot find a chain of proper length, so we will continue our search next week. We did get around to threading the holes for the tie bars. Matt needs to take the bolts we found to home depot to find their exact size. That way we can make an accurate thread.
We also got a special treat this week, we learned how to weld. Each one of us got to practice welding bolts together. We learned that the arc created from welding is bright enough to cause you to go blind, so we took special precaution by averting our eyes and wearing welder masks that block out the light. It was great to be able to learn this new skill.
