Looks like it came out nice.
From the extra spars and the fact you were able to cold bend it, I'm assuming you used the thinner thickness 1/8" polycarbonate, right?
Would you even dare try your radius of cold bend in the 3/16" thickness?
A friend of mine owns a plastics shop and does lots of fabrication. I owe him lunch anyway, need to talk to him this summer about this.
One of the motivations I'm having is surface rust near the rear glass rubber seal (
small spot on drivers side), and the rubber seal looking tired.
They say if you can see any surface rust it's actually much worse under the seals than you think. Fixing rust seems like a good idea, even if you cannot currently see it. If I'm going to take the glass and seals out prior to painting (
old paint too), then I might as well save some weight in the process.
It is a slow process, but I'm in no hurry.
