By the way a full piece of Styrene would have worked great for the top but I only had 1 piece at 3am when I was building it  Thats why I added the middle support.Should have my motor in today from Tower to make sure the magnets arent interfering with my electronics.

Nice job on the hardtop!Looks very much like the 1:1.Working with the styrene is very easy and when you use the tenax 7 it bonds so quick you can motor thru a project in no time.You got me thinking now,my mocrawler softtop is gettin pretty ragged and a hardtop would look way cool on my Bruiser bronco.Very nice man! |

Still no word. I guess it will be a hot one this summer with the hardtop on Just need to put the windows in this one and paint it and someone else has a nice hardtop  This one turned out much better. I used a single piece for the roof. Much more structurally sound Also bought a palm sander to save me some time.
