Made a little more progress after the last post - continued making the rear hatch. Have no idea how to attach this so it functions yet. In trying to see how it would work in opening, it kind of gets in the way of accessing the vehicle if hinged at the top or bottom because of the angle. I would either need to have it hinged at the breaking point between the sloping top portion and vertical bottom portion, or hinged at the top to open upward; in which case I would need to have a sort of hydraulic support/gas spring. Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome. I've never scratch-built any functional doors before (or any real scratch building between this and the True Heroes U-53 I'm also working on), so I'm learning as I go.

Added a window portal for the rear hatch.

Just wanted to say this is a very inspiring project, minstrelboy. After seeing the potential for this rig in your WIP shots, I thought I would keep an eye on these when I was at Target.
For anyone else similarly inspired, I just found the gyrosphere blast vehicle on clearance at Target for $20.98. Not a bad price for a good project base. |

Sorry to hear that but it happens.
Closely watch for your return as just got one of these myself and plan to gut and rebuild too. Always nice however to see how others have tackled this project of an interior. As I agree an Interior is essential to get the most from the vehicle.
