Robin obviously with
some time on his hands after building his pink pick up and with no project
in the garage had to do something, so he
builds a half scale model of his pick up. It is half scale in length, width
and height but quarter scale in volume. The body was made from
scratch with wood and much filler.
Specification
Body Fibreglass, original buck made from wood, fibreglass and filler.
Chassis One inch square steel tube
Engine Water cooled Kawasaki 125cc 2 stroke motor bike engine
Gearbox 6 speed sequential shift
Running gear Go kart
The basis for the body
was the outline of the wheel arches and
door profile. These were arrived at by scaling measurements
from full scale.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The doors were made up
of many strips of wood joined and
then covered with filler and shaped.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The basis for the front
was again flat panels.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The wings were roughly
shaped in chicken wire and then
covered in glass matting.
--------------------------------------------------------------
A similar method was
used on the bonnet plus lots of filler.
--------------------------------------------------------------
After much filler and
rubbing the finished buck was produced.
Now a mould is required so bodies can be produced.
