I managed to mount the stepper motor for the X axis and connect it to the lead screw with the flex couplings I got off eBay.
After running the X axis back and forth and running through the EMC2 default G-code, I realized that I am going to need bearings to keep the nylon sheet from lifting off the rails. So, I built two bearings.

I also started working on the Y-axis and once again, the nylon sheet is not flat so I have to add tubing to flatten the sheet.
