PHASE I hard cover for RTT

[RoyB]

Tonight I started the prototype of a hard cover for a RTT

In this case, A Smittybilt

Removed the velcro skirt that the soft cover attaches to

Fabricated the extension "shelf" that the hard cover will sit on

These pictures are of the RTT upside down. You are looking at the bottom of the RTT

As you can see, I didn't want to disturb any of the existing fasteners. Therefore I drilled holes in the 2.5" flat aluminum stock to go around them.
Tomorrow I'll start fabricating the sides out of PVC lumber. The top will be RFP (Reinforced Fiberglass Panel)

Stay Tuned!
