The humidity finally dropped enough for the paint to dry so I did some assembly--brake connected, motor mounted chains and controls are next

That will be cool. Show us more!

Saturday I fabbed a seat post--thanks for the steel rod, Pop. Tweaked a few things and did the final mock-up assembly--next week it all gets torn down for final paint and re-assembly. Seat post looks a little long. That's more like it. Ok. End of the day at Elm Street Shops and Foundry...

Not much progress last week other than adding a few new wrinkles to the grey matter. Tank may be undergoing re-design pending outcome of next shop session. There is LOTS of stiff competition too . . .nice work ratters. I'm glad we have until Aug 1. Pictures to follow.
