Seems that the build is going much slower than I had originally thought.  Turns out going to school full time and working close to full time pretty much limits your schedule to school and work.  Not really much to post about since I haven't gotten much done but I did get some bushings ordered and bored out a piece of tubing for about two hours so that they would fit inside.  No pun intended, I was bored out of my mind, it was a very slow process but worth it.
