Final Stretch

Well its crunch time! About a week left and lots of detailing to do!
Kate gets to work augmenting the Dune Skipper with a chaos cage. Look at those plush seats...

On the other side of the shop it was welding limbo trying to install the new go-kart breaks. John and Dave had quite a time playing Sand Reckoner twister and came out victors. Dave braves the tack welds risking his skin for the glory of the Reckoner as John balances his right foot on yellow and left hand on green.

Tacked into place, everything aligned and tight. No hydraulic fluid to deal with... just cutting down break line sheathing to size thanks to Erik's exceptional needle nose plier skills.




Now that's stopping power with style. Each pedaler has break control over their own wheel so its quite an orchestration between both drivers and steering... fun fun fun. Next Shes ready for another paint coat from Captain Tom. Dune Skipper is in tip top shape. 5 more days until we depart!
