It lives!

Wow. Update.

Holly and Laura prepped endless numbers of panels to make the shell.

Kyrsten patterned more panels and polished rivet after rivet.

Nathan and Alex both worked on the top palaquin platform.

And Jon and Lauren finally finished installing the airbags and got the mechanical systems all worked out.

So we went for a ride!

So, we’re getting the “growth rings” to take shape. Every piece hand fitted at some wonky angle then welded to a piece of round stock. The numbered tape makes it look like we actually have some sort of plan.

In the pictures are Kyrsten’s father Jerry who helped us Sunday. Of course we had help from the usual suspects Thursday and Friday night (thanks to Christopher, Tansy, Lauren, Alex, and the 4 blacksmiths who stopped by). And we also have a picture of Keith who is working on an electric pumpkin carriage and his daughter Ann who is helping him! Monster garage never had father daughter day…
