Thanks, fellas.
A little more refined and another view. The profile of the tank works more than I initially thought.

Started framing out the seat. I made it straight, because I haven't decided if I want to incorporate the side panels as one unit. Or to make the side panels bolt to the seat. For now a straight line seems easier to work with.

Did you use a wiffle ball bat to shape that thing? Awesome.

I wouldn't take the side covers all the way down to the bottom tip of the triangle as in your sketch. I think maybe 4 inches of side cover, incorporated into the sides of the seat would look tits. Again, slightly rounded like the lines on the leading edge of the tank. Just throwin out ideas

Re: 1973 XL175 Orange Soda Hell Ride
Started forming the side covers. It's just hands and hammers, so I'm working from a template/mold I routed out of high density overlay. HDO is a very hard, dense smooth surface plywood often used for concrete formers.

Working on the side show... I still have some planishing left, but the right cover is coming together. I'm waiting on the exhaust to arrive to see how it all fits, but I hope to route the exhaust through the frame and bring the cover in.

Put on some new shoes and mostly finished the side covers. I promised Brad no filler, so there's still work to be done. Anyone wanna bring an e-wheel from Frostburg, MD to Augusta, GA?

I really hoped the exhaust would've been delivered already so I can get final fitment on the right side. Oh well. Fuck eBay.

I haven't put the top on the seat yet. It'll look much like I made the seat on the 360.cxman said:
