P1000 Next P1K project begins

[CumminsPusher]

Well it's getting cold now and as much as I've been liking the seat heat it's not enough so it's about time for a change. I've got an idea but this one will require some serious thought because of the logistics. Hope to get it right and I've got my beautiful helper to assist but this won't be a day project like the chop top however it is related.

I'll be watching this one!!

What are you pulling now? If you're making your own enclosure I'm gonna be jealous. Not because you're doing it (cause I have spent several hours planning one) but because you have time to work on it. Come on spill the beans man!!!

You're a very smart man. We both have a long road ahead of us!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. 2 like minded souls lol. My goal was to make one without the huge gaps in it like factory one has. It's not that big of a deal here in TN. I'm sure your winters are ALOT worse than ours lol. I will keep a very close eye on this one. I threw away several 4x8 sheets of lexan when my old plant shut down. No room to store and never figured I'd need them. Little did I know .....lol.

There's 100 ways to do the same thing usually but this is a little tougher. Had three different options but all will fail for what I wanted. I want tough convertible hard doors that seal well and under 30sec to remove for storage behind the rear seats. They can't stick out past the cage or they'll be litter, need to hold up in the sticks with dependable easy replaced parts. I want them super lightweight for overall stability. Since you've been looking at it I'm sure you know the difficulty of the angles of the doors and front windshield edge to the roof. Not positive yet what the middle variables are but moving in on it.

WOW, you're asking alot more than I was. You've got one really rough row to hoe (as we say down here in the promised land lol)

She's my favorite person in the whole world. She helped keep me on the right road for years my reasoning for our life as we know it. I'll be by her side if ever needed and appreciate how much she's helps. She loves working with me on the Pioneer I just need to slow down more to let her help. Sharp she's a great kid!

First step is done headed home it was a long day at work and I stuck around an additional couple hours to get here. I'm tired.

I could but it would only be for the exact same chopped roof. I'm not 100% sure if it's going to work but we're ready to start cutting and drilling some new holes.

I may can help you with that lexan.

You missed the part where I said it got thrown away lol. One of my many regrets. But when you're filtering through 98k sqft of building trying to decide what you wanna take home or throw out, some regrets will be made lol.

Haha.....I mean to say I've got some 5'x3' panels that I'll prob never use. They are 3/8" thick I believe.

Oh okay gotcha lol. Sorry I misunderstood. They will probably die of dry rot before I get time to work on an enclosure.
