Jumped into roll structure creation and rear chassis reinforcement over the weekend, and also started with the canopy construction as well:
Quite happy with how it's shaping up. Played around with some scraps to visualize the roof line of the canopy and I think it'll work out well. The hinges are a little under-spec'd and flimsy, but should (barely) get the job done. And for $11, it was way easier and cheaper (and lighter) than building up my own 4 bar mechanism to control the motion of the lift.
I also picked up some springs this morning to make good on the front suspension. The bungies are cool from a colors and budget perspective but I need some real hardware up there.
