Excellent.Thanks.

 

Love the sneaky profile! Is that going to mess with the optics, you know, distortion wise?

 

Jeem the optics are good. I am having trouble getting a good symetrical bubble. I had two more done and they are slightly higher on the driver side now. As soon as I get back on the car (right after Detroit) I'll have to make a male mold to pull the bubble over.

SOOO ..JUST PLAN FOR THE BUBBLE TO BE HIGhER ON THE DRIVER SIDE..
then for sure it will not be...
or better yet build a part line front to rear.. twin bubbleish
glad your still picking at it
looks good now go put that dome away before it gets full o **** and all scratched up..

 

Reseurecting a four-year-old thread...

Whatever became of this project?

 

The project is on hold for now. I'm still working on another project and the money isn't there right now.

Just found this thread and bummed you had to put the skids on it. I am also building a bubble top - smaller out of a VW Karman Ghia (Dub-N-Aire). I am making an interior ring out of PCV pipe (I think) and will have vents in it all the way around. Also hinging at the front.

 

Anything on this?

 

Excellent ! Bubble top
