    actually, when I put in the crossover bar, I made it removable so it would be easier to install a hood and work on the engine, so I can get it out of the way. The biggest 2 problems are the stainless steel lines that stick up for the propane system, and that ugly ass master cylinder I have. Both will require somewhat wierd cuts to make a hood fit. I actually went out there and measure everuthing when I got home a few minutes ago, and I'm thinking of just getting someone to cut me a few pieces of steel sheet to match. The roof should be relatively easy, the hood is gonna take some work. What thickness would every suggest for this? I want to keep it as light as possible, but it needs to be thick enough that it doesn't flex or bow (it has to cover around a 2 foot span unsupported). I hope I can find the time to get this done next week

    oh yeah, who here in town will cut the metal to match what I need? I've heard custom fabricators is good, but kinda expensive. Mack bolt and steel will only sell me a full sheet (which I don't want to mess with since time is short) and bryan iron and metal only has 1/8 sheet

    I would say thicker aluminium would be pimp, that or get someone to roll some beads in thinner steel. Then it will support itself.

    I would like aluminum as well for the wieght saving, but I know it'll cost a lot more. As for rolling beads, definetely not enough time and money.

    If you have to get the whole sheet I bet you could take it over to Eaker Performance and have Jonothan cut it with the plasma cutter. I don't think he would charge that much to do it if he has the time.

    Well due to getting a late start today and pulling an all nighter, I didn't get to beaumont today. I didn't think it was a good idea to leave a 6:30 after no sleep. So, behind schedule once again.

    Anyone want to take a ride to beaumont this weekend? You can see the kings castle in person!
