Fantastic news man... And well done...
Im getting jealous... :lol:

I was watching the other video with the one wheel setup, and wanted to ask:
Is your steering setup done with power steering / electric steering or just straight link without any assistance?

In the video, it is just straight manual steering however, the plan is to have a power steering set up

Awesome steering test! And I'm going to use your method for leveling my frame build. I've got the steel, so I might as well use it. Thanks for the tip!

Almost driving. That's going to make you popular.

Question, how wide did you make your rear wheels? I've heard that 12" is a good width, but what worked for you?
