My TD #1

I don't know what profile design this would fit into, so I just call it a little notion that was floating around in my head since I decided to build my own. :roll:

Was hoping to start the outer skins this weekend, but the sheetmetal shop was closed before I could get there today. Oh well, I still have to sandblast the frame and paint it anyway. :cry:

Looks like you are off to a good start Jeff. That will make a good framework to build on. A friend of mine ( welder suggested that I do the same thing ) about the same thing except using aluminum tubing and skins. Tig up the frame and skins and fill in the inside with what ever; wood, metal, "formica" or anything I like.
