t top

[sid_fishes]

hey guys , well while i,m not playing with other peoples boats,bikes and cars i thought i would make a t/top that folds down for my c/c so i can still put her in the garage. the 2 front bars have a nylon insert and pivot of the front of the console, 2 back bars [ which i,m working on at the moment] will pivot from the top of the console , the top has 2 grab rails attached to the sides , plates for 27 meg and vhf areials ,gps dome mount, and a mount for a led light are done ,it just needs anchor light and nav light brackets some bracing and a shit load of polishing. cheers ian

Excellent again matey.
Can't wait for the finished piccies :)
Yeah, you should consider this type of work as a career path.
You may just do OK at it :)
before you say anything...Leezor started it ;D
I reckon the grab rails will be really welcome by the deckies of the future :)
