On the road to go-kart level

As of now there are only a few steps left before we have a functioning rolling chassis. 
First off we had to order a throttle cable bracket which holds the throttle cable and allows it to actuate the carburetor.
The bracket is the hoop shaped thing; on the left are the return springs and on the right is the throttle cable.  
Here's a picture of our flexible fuel line connecting into the engine. 
This is me adjusting the handbrake so it doesn't bump into the transmission tunnel. 
We aligned and drilled the mounting holes for the seats, they are skewed outwards to be more comfortable and roomy. We broke 2 drill bits in the process of drilling through thick steel. 
A better shot of the skew. 
These are our custom trunk compartments, I spent a good long time filing down the edges to make the walls flush. 
Look forward to my next post as we'll likely have carpets somewhat installed!
