This was a great day for me. Much fun. Many people. Lots of ideas and so much progress, I am almost thinking we have a chance of getting it running by May 28th.

Not only that, but I discovered that Phutureprimitive has a new album. For only 7.99 I bought over an hour of planet defining music.

I should make the pictures bigger so I don't have so much blank space to fill in.

Shown at left is part of the chain tensioner which we have worked on for over a week and now we happy to say it only has to be rebuilt one more time.

Shannon as usual was a great pleasure to work with. (Everyone was a great pleasure to work with.) Shannon came up with great ideas and parts and vises. We had three beautiful vises in the shop at the end of the day.

Victor started the day by finally attaching the wheels to the axle. No photo of this today, but it looks good.

Here he is making tabs for the cable pulley system which will steer the front wheels.

I don't think we got a photo or video of everyone so here's the list:

Shannon worked on a lot of things
Dave welded his fingers to the bone.
Kimric made a fantastic propeller for travel by sea.
Victor: Wheel registration and Steering.
Vicki finished parts, repaired a vise.
Peyton rebuilt rear end.
Robert made second seat attachment system
Joe worked with Robert and also learned to weld aluminum. I learnt him that.
Sash cut off a couple of tabs. She can point to the absence of those tab and say she did that back in April of 2011.
I think that is everyone.

The Vise Vicki Repaired.
and
the part that holds the steering cable pulleys. Victor design and Shannon cut out. Then Shannon discovered it wouldn't work without a few extra added parts and simple modification.

Notice that we are to some degree making the parts with a Victorian eye for anesthetics.

Top Speed Calculations: See this page.

As measured by Vicki and others: 9.5 MPH. That's pretty good agreement.
