The wood looks pretty bad, but a fiberglass "notch back" hatch would be really nice. The wood version saved about 75#. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Ghetto hatch pictures Terry.. I'm with you. Notchback all the way. Looks awesome from the side. Wish I knew someone who laid 'glass.
Notchback is much better looking than the wagon thing HURST made.

Re: Ghetto hatch pictures Why don't you make your whole car out of plywood and ducktape? That would save a lot more weight. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

Re: Ghetto hatch pictures If I could take more weight off using wood and duct tape I would. Maybe a plexi-glass hood is next? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Ghetto hatch pictures Terry I think you found my limit on the weight reduction thing. Although i thought about it, it just doesn't look good at all

If this is for real, you better not make fun of the ricers from now on. I'd rather a wing and a Folgers can !!!
You're a sick MF'er !!!

Re: Ghetto hatch pictures That has got to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. I surprised that even Terry would do this... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Ghetto hatch pictures Lol I told you guys I was ghetto!!! I have the hatch in the garage. I drove the car around a few times with it and I kinda like it from the inside.
It cost about $40 in materials to make, a lot cheaper than the $500 lexan hatch. Having an extra cheap fbody around to **** with is fun. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Ghetto hatch pictures Geez, I'd rather drive a ricer car with a huge wing and sticker than that car! I'll bet it looks right at home next to a double-wide trailer on stilts.
Yuck! <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

Re: Ghetto hatch pictures This setup has alot of potential in my eyes. Think of it as a rough draft, and the final product would match the curves of the car, be painted to match the body color and in fiberglass. The look through the back window is cool!
