Really good to see there Corey, I bet it felt so good to finally have that first blast under its own power, I can still remember how it felt when mine made its first move under its own power. 3 cheers to you.

so finally .. I believe this is the LAST thing I have to "fabricate"

the canopy ..







as you can see it's in really bad shape .. it's fixable , but for the time I would spend fixing it (and it has been done at least once before) I figure I might as well make a new one , with NEW and ADVANCED products .

It may be in bad shape for now, but it couldn't be in a better pair of hands for resurrection. I know you are going to make better than it ever could have been, I will be patiently waiting to see how it all turns out. I have a mental picture, but sometimes that is not enough to compare when the real product comes out. Cheers Corey.

So are you going to make a mold or something and make a completely new top? If so that's badass. Take some pictures of how you make it. I have always been interested in how you fiberglass guys make these pieces.

yes .. i'm going to build a "quick" mould .. not a production mould for the top .. as I dont think I will be selling many of them !!


little bit more today ..

got the rear seatbelts installed , also finished the install of the GPS , finished wiring the rear camera and the rear lower seat locks .. also the roll bar is now installed ..
I was working on the jack and tools install , but was interupted , and had to take it for a little ride again around the compound ..

talked to the interior guy and the seats are in the works
