Ira Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) MORE LEGROOM!!! I made an Access Panel from Sheet Plastic. This will also serve as the New Floorboard... I had to cut about 1/4" from the bottom of the Interior to clear the New Access Panel. I also removed the lower front section, too add more legroom... More Coming...

Ira Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) X-ITE GOT BACK! I need a Seat Back to make X-ite Nice & Comfy. A section cut from a 59 Chevy seat will be perfect. Strip plastic was used to make the Seat Back the right thickness. Then I sanded it down to get the right angle when mounted on the inside of the rear door. More Coming...

Eshaver Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) I like you're version better . This one looks more "Balanced ". I'm surprised Ed Roth himself never envisioned a second version of his creation. I met him once when he was part of a World of Wheels show in Dallas once . He really was a wealth of useful information that day. He would stop and answer my questions as he was signing autographs for others .
