For fun, I placed the 450 blank tailpiece on the 90 just to get an idea of how a tail section would look...
Its too long and wide, but nothing that couldn't be fixed by cutting it back down, but I decided a more vintage style would be appropriate for the effect I sought.... Something more like this....
As you can see in the following pix, supporting the pan on the frame will also be an important consideration, and I'll probably have to make it thicker/stronger due to lack of side support...
The 8"x8"x8" styrofoam cube will be carved/fitted as the tail, and the sheets (visable behind the bike) will be used to "build" the cushioned section....
My next post will show Part 1.... shaping/fitting the tailpiece:
