The Under Carriage work. I would suggest a rotisere. Doing this on your back is not a fun job.

It is runable, stoppable and steerable at this point. NO MORE PUSHING IT AROUND! Lots of pieces to go though.

Dakota Digital instrumentation installed. This is quite a wiring project by itself. Update - Now that I have been driving the Elky a few hundred miles this was well worth the money and time.

On July 4, 2007 it actually made its maiden voyage to a cook out with friends. Prior driving around can't count because there was no passenger seat for the Honey. When the interior was finished and she was willing to get in and ride it was complete enough to be official (it is on the road!).
