Re: My CHOPPED FB wagon project
Sounds cool .
If I can offer some advice before its started , it would be that there are guys out there with moulds for screens that are chopped , buy one from them and drop it to suit rather than dropping it then trying to cut a screen to suit , saving you money already mini.
Also 1 inch out of the turret is a big call without rolling up a new skin or finding a perfect fit off something else .
What are you going to do with side rear and rear glass ,they are all curved , are you aware of the costs there ?
I quietly wish you bought something American and made an investment .....
Hows my Chassis , It better not be getting comfortable down there , Tell it daddy will be there to bring her home soon
