Anyone thinking about making this SHOULD!!! Starfire is the man for being nice enough to post the template, he literally took ALL of the work out of it if your good with a jigsaw. Here are some pictures of the one I made. I made mine out of some MDF board I had laying around, and instead of the white plexiglass i cut the letters out of board and glued it down. All together it costed me $14 to make, the only thing I had to buy was the carpet. And the Pony was going to be used for a diffrent project that I never got around to.

GRABBER ORANGE!!





thanks again for sharing Starfire!!

I did the same thing except I wanted a place to store a few tools out of the way.

Looks like a motorcycle saddle bag Jim lol.
But cleaver none the less.

I'm thinking one could make a stainless steel box for the engine compartment...

It's actually a bag to hold a portable DVD player - I picked it up at WalMart for $10. It has two zippered pockets and is padded so the SCT has some protection and the second pocket holds some basic tools for emergencies.
