Thanks been lurking awhile seen you around. Remember we are not building pianos. And it’s ok if it’s not perfect.

Re: The lunch box

I can’t talk enough about test fitting. Imagine your butt driving down the road. Get it in the center, you don’t want your wife jumping in saying why is the glove compartment over there.

Finish cutting up the back. measurements are hard it’s best to trimulate crazy angles use the foam edges corners and round. Weld that up best you can. Before I invested in welding I would cut out little brackets of tube and sheet metal screw the frame together hose clamps worked also.

Test fit maybe a little to much but it goes with the saying cut once measure twice. Drill out new holes and make up a small little piece to get it to the floor driver seat has one you can see over there.

Re: The lunch box

I’ll try not to talk like a how to video but I’m trying to remember how this stuff went down. The foam from the back rest was reapplied to the wire grid. And I sat the driver side curve next to the seat foam that got the chop. I would much rather had an old electric turkey carving knife. But legitimus works great with long sweeping strokes.
