(P.s.: manufacturing the rear swing arm is what delayed the project for over two years. Issues such as the swing arm geometry and tubing thickness were too complex for any robot welding subcontractor to reasonably manufacture cost effectively as they wanted 7 figures with a one year lead time, so Helix built their own welding chamber and leased their own robot welder instead. Hand welding would be too complicated and slow because of all the gas shielding that would be required.)
Not that I have an axe to grind at all, but does it not mean "in two weeks" ?

Joke aside, well done!

Can't wait to see it roll, I'm super rooting for KS backers to be satisfied!
