Project Cockpit - small update

The frame is starting to come together, ABS was definitely the way to go. Pre-made bends, couplers and fittings all make for an easy build. It's like piecing together those toys that have long shaft pieces and varying connectors (edit - they were called connex!). I just need to pick up some PVC/ABS cement, but I don't really need it until everything is cut, fitted and finalized.

Best part is, 5 foot sections of 2 inch ABS only cost 3 bucks. The couplers and elbows cost about 2-3 bucks a piece as well.

Here is a test fit of the main frame rails to give an idea of where this is going.



I used a 3-way connector and a 90 degree elbow on the right hand side in order to have a mount for the shifter.
You can also see where the cross supports will mount.

I'll probably work on it this weekend, so stay tuned.
