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 8) :D

Harko, We are getting a screen from queensland already chopped 3 inches... The side glass will be recessed into the body with a frame made up to suit.... :P . He told me how he was doing the roof. I will leave it up to him how he does it but ive got confidence in him.. will have some more pictures up soon..
