canopy, shell,

mtdave2 · 09-21-2007, 09:36 PM

i have thought about making one. buy 2 new or used fiberglass toppers, then start cutting! wouldnt be that hard of a job really. could even do it with one if the sides are smooth with out any strange molding.

ill be interested in seeing if you can find one.

I've been looking for three years for a shell. I have two longhorns and plan to build a shell from a used 8' I have. This will be my winter project.
