PROGRESS!!!

So spring break has just occurred in our school district.  It allowed all the students to recover from the madness of school and take a break right before the mental breakdowns of May.  During this one week of no school, I took a long car ride down to the steel shop.  Now it being on the south side and me living on the north side, it was a long trip.  Just about 30-40 minute drive just for steel! But I was alright with this.  My dad, not so much...
Coming up to the place, it seemed a little sketchy.  However, the people over at Warner Steel helped me gather what I needed and got me in and out in only about 5 minutes.  They also helped me cut it down so it could fit in the van!  So it was a good day.
The steel in total cost $74.05.  I also paid $100 for the rear axle and the 20" wheels.  The motor was free off the side of the road; however, it cost roughly $10 to repair.  In total, I have spent about $184.05 and I still have at least $110 left in parts still needed to purchase.
