More progress

I’ve decided to make the Cushman look as much as possible like a well used and not too well cared for military vehicle. The latter ought to be easy to accomplish, the former should suffice with a decent coat of “desert sand” paint. I need to find a fabric for the seat that is both uncomfortable and long wearing while looking it’s worst from the very beginning. You know, in the classic military tradition.

Having gotten the brakes working, and the engine more or less running reliably, I feel I’ve made progress, but I’ve also got the “hood” painted and some of the dents beaten out of the rest of it. cush.jpg

This is what you get

for manufacturing your products in China. The Ipad has been knocked off– though they’re using the Android OS on this, and from all appearances, it’s a better system. Cheap, too.
