"Quicksilver" Retro-Future Scooter from appliances and scrap metal

Step 2 Picking a new outfit

The beginning stages of this project were very much like that of my sculptures. I gathered up a big collection of large aluminum objects to weld together as the body panels. Street lamp covers worked out to be the best basic shapes. Their teardrop design made them a good fit for the "vintage" look.
I took extra (perhaps unnecessary) care to fabricate the main panels so that they used the mount points on the original frame. The thinking was that fewer connection points would lead to less vibration.
