Does anyone have photos or build drawings of a race hatch for a 28? I would like to build one.

I'm pretty sure LAriverrat has one for his 28. Send him a PM, I'm sure he will help you out.

Edit: just remembered his rear seat is all the way back, still might help.

I've got one for my 32 if you are just wanting to see one. No pics on my ipad though.

Here's the pics I have of the one for my 28. I've never had it on, and actually don't ever plan to put it on. The 28 is my "daily driver", not my hot rod....... I don't doubt I'd pick up 1-2mph on top if I pulled the heavy back seat out and put it on (benefit from weight loss and aerodynamic efficiency, I just don't ever see myself going through all the effort to do it. I regularly take back seat passengers with me.

FP, Yes post anything that you may have. I am pretty inventive. Just would like to see what is out there! Thanks, David

i got one 4 sale

If you build one, check out how Larry designed his hatches with a built-in cooler cool!

The raised Skater logo is also awesome!

think my hatch is slightly lighter than the seat LOL. ( its much lighter) If I had re-rigged mine I wanted to lighten the rear seat as much as possible...move it forward adding the storage area and alter the race hatch to still cover the rear seating area if I wanted. not sure if that would have negated the additional speed but it would have been cool to be able to cover the rear seats and get he race look.

The only problems I have found you need to be cautious when
Taking the hatch on an off so you do not ding your gel or paint
I would suggest using a hoist system when you do get one David !

with the seat move forward the hatch would be much smaller and easier to handle...still would require at least two people.
