Gt-12

on the back i want a fairly sharp edge across the top,to match the lower edge on the original hump,but the corners need to be rounded .so after i've gotten far enough that i'm ready to pull the inside bracing off i'll finish that area.

The Dora the Explorer can is a real nice touch there...

That's what I was referring to just didn't know the right way to say it. Figured it was already in the plan.

Actually I think that's a lamp shade, and if you go back a few pages (quite a few actually) you'll find she's been a big help in allowing the build to progress.

more pissing around with the hood

theres still lots of work to do at the top around the carbs-the edges all need to be turned in and given a finished look.
it's like frickin frankenstien,all these bits pieced together to make this thing work.and theres more to go.

a problem i've been having is that the room i'm building this thing is has crappy lighting,so i went on a search to find someting to brighten it up a bit.

found dora in one of the kid's rooms.she likes to be helpful.

can YOU say 'welder'? i knew you could!

yup....had to do a bit of searching,but i found it on page 15

dora's been by my side on this build for a while now.

wow, yeah, I totally forgot that was there. That was like 1000 posts ago, but where is the rest of the lamp then?

just out of the frame.if you look at the top right,you can see the pink cord.i took the shade off to get better light.

 

[escort_gts]

ok, i see it now.

i was just getting the final measurements together for the rear tubs,and i have a shiny new sheet of 3/4'' plywood in the back of the truck to make the forms with.maybe if i'm energetic tomorrow i'll get them started.i'd really like to get the interior sheeted in some.
