vinyl cover

A few weeks ago i posted pictures of the retractable hood sticks I had made for our book chassis locost, now I am on the home straight of making the vinyl cover. It fits with the hard doors I have made, but will also have a set of soft doors that can be rolled up and with the hood and sticks down we keep the good locks until needed. What do you think.

Looks neat. It would take a lot of time and effort to make those I would have thought.

Cheers gents I managed to do most of the work whilst waiting for the Inspection and paperwork to be sorted, making sure I could remove it all in case there was any problems that the inspector could spot.
I have found that with the doors and hood on it is very hot inside, so i have made the rear screen removeable.
The doors alone stayed in place on the motorway and kept the wind buffering down, but still loads better with it all off and or folded down.
The biggest problem i had to start with was being able to get the hood sticks to clear the roll bar when going up, but then not over handing the rear panel / spare wheel when when laid flat.
