Any race car fan will enjoy either building OR receiving this bed. The easy to build bed is also economical to make as most parts are hard plywood. No special hardware is needed, so there are no problems there. Painting guide is given, but imagining that aspect of the project is half the fun! The finished twin bed project measures: 20" tall, 86" long, 48" wide. Plans come with a list of materials, large measured drawings, written instructions, photos during construction, and full size patterns for the curves. A standard twin size mattress is accepted. Gentlemen, start your saws.
