So it's been a couple months since I updated this one. Been working away at the body structure and finally into beating the panels. First pic is from before Corona came to town;

And as of this week.

Still months worth of work to do before it's roadworthy but we are getting there. :thup:

Been chipping away at my speedster project. Currently working on the seat after repurposing three bus seat bottoms worth of coil springs. Used the jute and cotton padding and threw a HF moving blanket on top for good measure. Now working on the seat cover. Actually got to use hog rings and pliers.

Pics are clickable if you want to see larger versions.

This is actually a lot of fun.

Looking good! Scavenging a bus seat's a great idea. Thanks for the tip. Let us know how that seat build compares to a bump seat. 8)
