Mock-up's and Concept Project.

We are all given a beautiful mind, but not a perfect one.
With that in mind, a project is and never turns out the way we imagine it at first.
Our beautiful mind is influenced by the eye, which in most cases has the final say.
Because of this process, there may be a number of attempts, finally to eye prevails.


Chassis chopped short to make a Bar Stool Racer. Note the horizontal Honda engine and the around the corner belt drive set-up.


The three speed Rancher transmission still in place, giving the machine three froward and one reverse gear.



Spot for the bar-stool already worked out.



Bar stool and front nose cone fitted.


Chassis extended and a brand new vertical shaft motor with a centrifugal clutch is now added.



Old Massey Ferguson tractor seat would made a great tub.



Then the mind went off on a tangent - how about a boot?

So off we went and made a couple of hinges and used the front hood of an old Bedford A6.



Taking shape now, check out the steering wheel?




Some large 50 mm holes are drilled in the top-deck and a big rectangular hole is created to allow for a cooling fan in the future.




Roll-bar , windscreen frame, and bug-catcher added to give the real hot rod look.



Front bumper assembly being fabricated.



Rear quad link arms from a drag car used to form the basis for the new hybrid drive.




Electric motor from a mobility scooter hacked to fit in as the new hybrid drive.



Air bag suspension fitted, Bag out of a Kenworth  air-ride suspension seat.
