Just for fun! Love to eat ricers, opps, might need to watch myself here!

The pod is molded out of an Autometer steel cup. I kind of bent it up getting it out, but it gave me a perfect object to mold around.

I am now in the process of molding the brake controller. Will post pics when I get it rolling. Just did the rough out last night. Will be attached to the dash and house the controller for a custom look.

Talked to mold a maker today about the pod, no luck so far, two more to visit.

Awesome man I knew that thing looked awfully round in the rear, and also looked just like the back of one of those cups. Nice job cant wait to see the controller. Keep taking those guys man. Thats dang funny! I would love to see that!!!!

The rear is all hand molded. I never can get cloth to go around corners very well. I am very very pleased with the over all shape as it turned out.

I visted with the mold maker today, injection modling into ABS, that ain't going to happen anytime soon! Ever price a custom made injection mold 18k! whoooo not!

Will try and get some pics up of the brake controller housing under another post.

Thanks for the feedback!
