Posted 23 Jan 2018 (edited) Looks good TJay! Now you can make money sewing when you quit building! Maybe get your $10 back? ;<) EDMO Edited 23 Jan 2018 by EDMO 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 18 Feb 2018 Ok Boys I made some good progress this weekend. Got the glass cut and installed, Gas struts mounted, and door latch system figured out. I have struggled along time on the doors because I wanted to install vents but couldn't stand the thought of cutting a snap vent in a nice finished door. Think I come up with a great solution. I incorporated the vent into the latch, the latch has two positions the farthest one in locks the door fully sealed and the other one lets the door hang open about a 1/2 inch for some air. Hope it works. Also built the latch that you need an Allen wrench to open from the outside, had to make a key for that one. Before anyone blows there top on seeing me put rivets into the air-frame take note that I have all them spots reinforced with little tabs that I welded in there earlier. So far the fit and finish is exactly what I was hoping for. Lots of hard work building all these parts all coming together finally. Enjoy the pics. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
