Default RE: Slowly setting up to build a Bridi Escape.

Well I was thinking about how the canopy would be cut. I pm'd doxilia about this to begin, but think it would actually be nice to get general input too.

I posted a few pics below to work on my header and canopy issue.

1. I would raise the canopy as already shown. This is a great idea.

2. I could cut down the front of the canopy to clear the entire header (for cooling) as shown in this great example of a XLT...

3. I could actually move the canopy forward some. I am thinking this is what was done in the last pic. Cooling may be an issue... I do not know.

Visuals can sometimes help. I am leaning towards option #2, actually preferring the 3rd option. Keep in mind, I have a LONG time before I have to decide on this. I had a lot of time to think about it today though...
