In the upper picture, you see that cold groundhog day in Maine after three
months of building. I clamped a plank on the frame to sit on, had all the electrics rigged up in the original way, set
up a forward foot rest using conduit coming forward from the frame, hung with red straps, connected the speedo to the handlebars,
and with my warmest clothing on, slowly headed out of the driveway. GASP! But this experience was such a helpful
inspiration to the next frustrating months of bodybuilding.
In the lower photo, the white panels of the overhead door are done,
but the windows must be sculpted once the position of the lower edges are decided upon. Yet this cannot be done without
some idea of the rear panels. I felt the car would look better if the rear panels had some upward flow, rather than
downward. Note the child's car seat I used for the testing. It says "60 pounds max". Actually
quite comfortable...
In this lower photo you can see the white 'steering plates' which are welded
to the front on the motorscooter forks and through which the "heim" ball-joint fittings are bolted.
