Build Yourself A Motorized Bathtub
![]() |
The car's body is an old-style bathtub with a caster wheel mounted in front. The power train is a Chevrolet rear end turned backwards and equipped with a 14 in. pulley on the rear drive. An 8 hp. gas engine provides the power. A belt idler clutch is cabled into the tub.
Steering is done by a lever on each side which connects to the wheel brake. Pulling one lever back, for example, causes the tub to turn in a continuous circle until the driver lets go.
"It was real inexpensive to build since all of the parts were picked up here and there from junk piles. I've had a lot of fun with it," says Edward.
