found a couple of cheap belts at wallyworld and made up some hood hold downs.

for stuff that is. found a mid 70's VW bug in the local wrecking yard. really cut up, but, still had the e-brake handle which I was looking for. 5 bucks later and it was mine. got it mounted today and now need to build a cover.

Finished up the trunk today, Moving on to the next thing.

haven't found any mirror mounts that I liked, So out to the scrap pile for some 1/4" alum.set it up for a 3" mirror

just plain Hmmmm.

wee bit bored this morning so I thought I'd make some side panels for the trunk with leftover material.

I'm pretty well done,still a wee bit of trim on the side openings to do.

installed the back "glass" (1/4" lexan) getting the top tightened up and tacked in place. I don't think the local experts are worried about their jobs :)
