ENGINE MOUNTS!


The Engine Mounts were made with Plastic Tubing. I used a Miter Box to cut one end of the tubing on an angle.

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...

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.

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 .

Looks good so far. I thought you were going to use both bodies to make a Star Wars cloud speeder.

Thanks Eric!

That's a good idea.... B)
