Projects 1st time out of the garage for my heap!

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Spyder, Jan 27, 2009.

  1. It's ugly as sin, but moving under it's own power. It started as a cowl and 2 quarters and looks a bit like a car now. I'll be a lot happier when I've put together some type of windshield frame.

    Ugly? Not at all. Ugly is pieces laying around that you can't roll out in the sun. Keep on keepin' on. Looks bitchin'. I like the pipes tucked inside the hood.

  9. ... so I can hang my arm out better. No, I hadn't finished the top yet, the doors match now.
     
  10. I like that little swoop on the back, pretty good for what you started with.

    When I read it was ugly, I braced myself... then I saw the picture. Not bad at all, keep up the good work.

    When I rolled mine out I had no windshield either. Ah, still don't actually. It drives just fine without it. I think of it as a large motorcycle with two extra wheels.
