I've been really busy on about everything BUT this project. But, I was able to put some time in this weekend on the chassis. The main rail components are now in place, and I think it's looking pretty cool. For fixturing I drilled holes in the concrete and installed 1/2-13 female threaded anchors, and then used machinist fixturing studs to clamp the rails to the floor. I was getting tired of chasing it around the floor!
I also had to machine more of the "ladder rungs" for the back. They are very short, only 3" long before the notching. So, I made a block to hold them in the mill vise and then cnc notched them on both ends in one operation.
I did have to heat and tweak a couple of the bends, but it really fit together nicely!
