well i have been playing with fiberglass and thinking i might try making a fiberglass back for a sierra

So i got pen to paper and this is what i come up with!!
i have the holes cut out for my roll bar

if all goes well i will be able to make these up for others as a normal 1 will be alot easyier with out the roll bar cut outs

just added standard swb and a lwb concept aswell

[Junior_91]

[nandor85]

would u guys be able to messure the lenth of ya tray and the width to the outside of the body then i can do up a drawing on how its will look

[suzukilwb]

can always use my lwb for the fitting

[nandor85]

cheers chris u want to messure the lenth of ya tray for me and the width of it to the oustside of the body not the lip where the studs are

[suzukilwb]

i got 136cm from out side to out side across 1cm lip both sides so 138 and long is from where the soft top clips into the side is 147.5 then 1 cm lip so be 148.5 dono if that the same as the other lwb

[nandor85]

same width as my coily just 600mm longer lmfao

[foonji]

SWB one sounds good

[lukes_89]

yeh i may be wrong but all zook shells are the same dimensions. but the lwb just longer

Agreed.
ha, i'm a sheety apprentice too.
and it'd be a bitch to do, was thinkin of cuttin up a bonnet for the top of the roof, then makin up an ally back for it.
dunno though.

[nandor85]

nice but mines just like a ute back not a full hard back

[nandor85]

im slowly getting there just made up the top of the hard back need to get the router out and run round the sides make it all rounded off nicely and need to put the sides on and alot of sanding and making up the ridges

[5ierra]

I'll take one for a LWB if its a good price...
