I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

So, here is a little gallery of my adventure in making my block-off. Which I built by hand, and am inherently proud of.

thanks jon. I'm pretty excited about it. The moon roof assembly weighs a little over 55 pounds. This weighs in just under 5. I'm not sure how, but I managed to maintain the curvature of the roof too.

Now I just have to sand and clean up the inside part, and I can get on with painting the interior

You can hear a tiny bit of flex during high speed cornering due to the twist of the chassis, but as far as straight line goes it's just like an OEM roof. No noise, no vertical flex.
