1/2 Top Project Pics
« on: January 29, 2013, 01:50:31 AM »
Here are some pics of my progress.  I need it to get warmer before I start any more fiberglass work, it takes too long for the resin to cure with the cold temps.  I think I am going to make the rear enclosure 2 pieces.  The rear rack and the angle make it more of a challenge.  Others I have seen that use CJ8 tops require a custom roll cage, and those that have done the cut down tops just leave the back open and the sides still leave a gap.

Thanks guys for the encouragement.  I got a little more done today.  I made the filler plate for the passenger side and finished the outer layer of the fiberglass seem.  I am hoping to get home from work early enough tomorrow to get the inside layer of the seem done.
