far too high and blocky. but good start. use foam and shave it to build a form.

looks good, great vision glad to see you doing it yourself. You just might get a customer or two.... B)

why did the seat stop short and not hide the end of frame? seems like it could be longer, dont know what you plan to do with frame end.

the rear bunp is really big....

keep going and take pics of the progress....great job... B)

cool, and make sure you wax the hell out of the male part of the mold so it releases well and make two once you have one your happy with. it will save you trouble later.
