Body, Mould and Buck in line
The first body

The job of making the mould and laying up bodies was given
to a fibreglass specialist. The buck was broken up and
destroyed.
--------------------------------------------------------------

The first body out of the mould after cleaning. The headlight
is from a Honda motorcycle.

Chassis being built.
The engine in the chassis.

Robin built a chassis from one inch square box tube using
Go kart axles and hubs. Tyres are from a small sit on lawn
mower.
--------------------------------------------------------------

The water cooled 125cc 2 stroke Kawasaki motor bike
engine and 6 speed gearbox fit under the pick up back.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Body on chassis.
Robin sat in finished model.

The body is fitted to the chassis and items such as the
bumper are made.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Robin sat in the finished car. He fits in well and is great fun to
drive on smooth surfaces. This is at Harewood House in
Yorkshire.

Picture to the left
Big and little, a great comparison.
