Thanks fellas

She's almost done
...not far now

Installed the batteries
...the hold down bracket turned out nice.

Looks like I should fab a chain guard

Ground clearance for the rotor & sprocket aren't too bad

Ooh look, ya can even see the "reflection" of the front wheel in "shine" on the sprocket.

I guess one of the last things is to add some "grip pads" to the foot bar
...to add some "foot grip" & protect the finish

Just gotta add the seat & were done.

Over the long winter I played around with a few design ideas
…& made up a few seats.

I'm thinkin' we'll just stick with the original one, that I made up for this kart. (the last pic)

Here are some pics of Damien, completed.

Functional Artist... I'm impressed.

Your work with electrics is awesome. Makes me think of really scaled up R/C stuff I used to use with my Trex 450.

And the paint. I like it. I was experimenting with some rattle can paint from the hobby store designed to have the same basic effect. I didn't have good luck with it. I would like something in dark green shifting to a gloss black. But probably won't happen.

But all in all I think your project turned out well.

I know it was a lot of dedication and hard work.

Thank you for sharing!

Another awesome project done and dusted. Thanks for taking us along on the build. I never have much to say, but I appreciate your work

Me & the misses went to an actual Damien show last night

It's been like 30 years since I last saw them

I even got/took a 2019 "bootleg" recording of "Every Dog has it's Day" to commemorate the occasion

Enjoy
