Update:
Well finally got the motor back in and started re-hooking everything up. Ordered a bunch of parts and I am preparing for the final reassemble next weekend...damn weddings. Anyhow I have long been pondering my seat situation since I have a lovely LTD version that blessed me with a a 45 degree angle in the rear; well it's close. I finally finished up my design and started glassing. I am pretty happy with the results so far and think it will turn out well.
OK, on to the pics:
They are from my iPhone so some of them are crap. Sorry.
This first pic is my taped up, waxed up mold if you will. There is a 2X6 underneath that was originally just there for molding purposes but is now there forever because it adds a lot of strength and is completely hidden.
This is with two layers of cloth. It was my first time ever dealing with fiberglass and definitely a learning experience. I designed this to house my battery and all other electronics underneath the seat. It does so well and has plenty of space to spare. Thanks LTD frame!
Here you can see (sort of) the wooden staple strips I added near the frame hoop to aid in vinyl adhesion.
Here are a few of it trimmed up and whatnot:
I'll admit the front is very blocky and square but I'll assure you it is hidden under the tank just enough for me not to care.
I stole an old yoga mat from my sister the last time I visited her house and I slapped it on.
I love the pink.
Anyway, It needs a bit of fine tuning and some real foam on top. I will be having the wife work the leather/vinyl on her sewing machine.
Overall I am pretty dang happy with the way it turned out. You can only polish a turd so much and I damn near rubbed this thing raw.
Please comment, critique, etc.
