Hey Jon,

If you look at Seasick Steve's hubcap guitar it really is a simple, kind of slapped together guitar. That's what makes it cool.

I made a much more refined six string version and found that the best way to build it was with a bolt on neck with a spine or carry through board going through and against the back of the box. I made a sound well to hold the cap in place much like one for a resonator guitar. It was a lot of work but worth it.
