Summer Darkness & Progress

It's summer as well as vacation time in Sweden and all the cottages are drowning in midnight sun...
Picture 1: Red Swedish house.
Almost all Swedes are now relaxed and eager to slow down or mow the lawn, except a small but determined group who this Sunday fled to the dark side in order to get solace for the soul and progress for the Salt Racer. The Amazon Salt Racer. 
 
The four link connection to the frame needed urgently reinforcment
 But let's start from the beginning. At lunch time today we were finally in shape to grab a cup of coffe /beer and able to study the task. Nothing happend. 
Then we used scissor and cardboard to mock up the future progress. 
 But eventually additional heat was needed to get some result. It was by Swedish standard a warm day today and adding the heat of merging metals made it even tropical. Which was good.
All of a sudden the metal was more rigid and while the steel was cooling down, we started to concentrate on the endless measuring again...this time to get a The Final Position of the Rear End. No fooling around. 
 Magnus here in the position of the middle man is trying to line up the 9' Currie to The Power Source...
... while Anders is supporting from the left...
...I'm trying to assist and report from the right...



Meanwhile Carina worked with her old new Suffolk engine...


...and Petter immortalized his glass blasted engine parts.
After this nice and fruitful day we could finally go out to the sunlight..
 ...drive home,...
 
...relax and enjoy a nice summer evening.
