Getting rid of the old leaky canvass roof and the plastic curtains.
I'm sick of getting dripped on.



Had to drill out/ cut off all the old twist lock and botton snaps.
I filled all the holes with kitty hair then 2 coats of epoxy primer followed by one coat of sem rust shield



This is .080 t6061 sheet aluminum.

Cutting was tricky because I want to fold down the edges 4"
I am going to paint the outside the same color maroon as it was before



I used double sided tape on all the pipes, a paneling joining plastic piece from Home Depot down the middle, and rivots on the edges.
Still have to fold down the sides and front and fabricate & weld up the window frames.

I'm most likely going with safety glass. I want to be able to scrub them or spray RainX on them and not worry about them getting scratched or fading

I'm keeping the 3 plastic roll down windows in the back like a summer back.
