For those curious about previous work on Short John Silver you can click over to The Art Car Project, which archives back to the genesis in 2005 or thereabouts.
Recent work is still in the camera, but all major structural changes (which involved welding, machining and painting a couple of contraptions) are done and installed. Hope to start festooning hull with EL again today.

–Have also built and installed a trailer hitch that works with the little two-seater wagon. Have tested it and it works well. I can make sharp turns without binding, too.
