Now we need to fabricate the engine bay door

The fin is on! Now we're moving onto the engine bay door. The process is the same as the passenger door... frame it up with 3/4" square tubing, shim it with 3/16" for the gap, use the truck as the buck by tack welding the framework to it. Once the framework is complete the next step will be to sheath it... tune in tomorrow for that video!

The inspiration for this build is the 1930's Diamond T Texaco Doodlebug Tanker Truck. The Texaco Doodlebug (also called the Diamond T Doodlebug) was a futuristic American tanker truck of the 1930s. The vehicles were streamlined and highly aerodynamic. The overall shape, a flattened half-cylinder rounded at the front and tapered at the end, has been described as a "pill" or "breadloaf". The passenger cabin was blended into the body, and there were no fenders, hood, cowl, or running boards. The windshield was compound curved glass, quite advanced for the time. It stood only 6 feet (1.8 m) tall, very short for a tanker truck then or since.
