How to do your own Proform body

 


Just got this email and had to share it for guys trying to make thier own Proform (soft) body

Hi Ted


Just letting you know that I recently got a local motor trimmer to make up a new body I designed on a cardboard template for the Melobar. 

It’s a gorgeous Flying Vee with a “hands free” hip plate mount I made. See pic attached. 

I’m currently in a folk duo with my girlfriend called Gone Westerly (on Instagram) but we are working on developing another version of ourselves that’s very much a trucker blues meets desert psyche vibe. 

The new look Melobar works perfectly for this!

Thanks for your help. 

Marty
