LOL your a funny man

Yes i found it very easy to COPY it once you peel the skin back everything and anything is just a measurement away...unless of course its a crushed frame then some minor assembly work may need to be in order before you can figure it out,,, LOL
the grid work is an excellent idea

I was going to try the vacuum bag on forming the sheeting around the fuse on my mustang, I don't know how it will work though,, could be kind of tricky... but a good material will be needed for forming a canopy now thats something we should really look into..every canopy I have for that ird splits from the g forces i think, If I glued it it probably wouldn't be a problem,, but I like the ol 4 or 5 screws to hold it on method.
Keep pluggin away man,, sounds great so far,,, any pics to go with that??
