In the upper picture, you can see just how many clamps it takes to bend
a lexan panel in place, all without scratching anything too much. Once the panel is thoroughly in place, you can
drill, tap, countersink for the 6-32 flathead SS screws. When all are ready, the panel is removed, silicone caulk
is applied, and the whole thing finally screwed down and excess caulk removed. Screw holes are also caulked. You
can see that seating experiments were also going on: a rather minimalist plank and bungecords used as a backrest.
Not enough comfort!
In the lower picture, you see some bald guy bending the 1.5" wide by
eighth-inch thick flatbar, which will be the forward frame of the overhead door, using the forward arch as a form for
the bending. A small piece of conduit is used to help the bending. Be sure to overbend the arch, so it is sprung
in place when attached. Otherwise the sides will bow outward and let in weather. This picture, of course, was
taken before the picture above.
In this photo you can see the motorcycle steering head, with the
excess shaft sawed off. This will eventually disappear behind the black side panels with the moonbeam logo, which you
see on the home page. I didn't want to mess with the widely-spaced steering head bearings.
Behind, you see the rear portion of the second scooter which was not needed and
resold on E-bay.
