Designs for the Chassis

This is the sketchup file for the designs of the various pats used for the making of the chassis of the car.
It contains one rectangular plate( 2 pieces will be required ), one C-shaped plate( 2 pieces will be required), one Caster wheel mount, and one small L-shaped bracket to attach the Caster wheel mount to the rectangular plate(2 pieces will be required).
