How much does that top weigh?

How much does that top weigh?

Maybe 35# before the fiberglass. Somewhere around there. It's pretty light. Need to add more reinforcement.

Glass cleaned up and ready for hot coat! Flexible, but strong at this point. I would estimate weight around 40#.

Still struggling with how to cover this corner. The black angle is what was on the shell originally. I was hoping to use aluminum angle, but it is not flexible enough to make the very slight curve at the top. Any thoughts?

Solved the corner problem. I ended up using 2 pieces of angle aluminum and was able to cut and bend one enough to make the turn. The slot that is exposed will be covered with another piece.

So it has been a few months since I have worked on this project. I sold the truck that it was slated to go onto due to high mileage. I bought a 4runner which is obviously not going to work with this camper. My dilemma is what to do with this thing! I would love to pass it on to someone else so that it could be finished and used, but I am not sure how much interest there will be in it (I would let it go for stupid cheap is someone is interested). So do I scrap it out, or do I find someone who wants to buy it?

I got a tundra otherwise i would consider taking over.. I'm sure someone here will love to finish it.

Post it up on TTORA. I'm sure you'll get some interest there.
