Made some major progress the past couple weeks. Got everything on the frame done except the battery mounts and the front shock mounts (still need to finalize the design on them before I machine them) and had the parts anodized black. So here are the first set of good non blury pictures of the frame

Would it be possible to fix the pictures in the start of the thread?

It's a nice looking rolling frame, and the laydown trans is a great idea.

Thanks! I've almost got the thing finished up. Just need to remake the lift blocks on the front axle, get some urethane to make the body mounts, finish the battery holders and paint it.

I think these are the pictures I had up before. I don't know why they kept going away.

Cool, nice photos! In one shot it looks like the angle on the driveshaft is pretty steep? I only ask because I could see this happening to me on my dump truck conversion.

Yeah the drive shaft is kind of steep but in that one picture I think it's the angle I took the picture at. The drive shaft actually slopes downward from the transmission to the differential but since they output shaft on the transmission is not perfectly lined up with the input on the differential it also goes off to the side at a weird angle. Not the best but I had to make it that way in order to get the transmission to line up with the differential (mainly because I laid the transmission on its side). Have not powered it up yet but I think it should work
