mad_pete Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Currently I’m finding my 90 truck cab a touch cosy. I’m not sure I want to go all the way to a hard top but wondering I’m I could put a cybertruck style slope roof on it get a bit more seat space and little bit of load area cover. Defender - I don’t do curves Cybertruck - hold my beer i think the dimensions aren’t quite there but maybe halfway between that a tomcat style back. Roller load area would be quite fun. Can you cad up aluminium sheets and get someone to folder them up for you? i might get photoshop out later and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I've seen a 90 like you discribe it was on eBay I think about 3 years ago. It looked kinda cool. It wouldn't be that hard to fab it yourself. But I see no reason why a sheet metal firm shouldn't be able to fold to CAD, template, rough stretch or measurements.

Daan Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 David Llama did one in GRP - can't find a piccy now. A tomcat roof might well fit or close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I do with my friendly laser cutter chap is send him a step file of the finished model. His software then sorts out the bend radii and flattens the model for cutting. Dimensions are then fed into the CNC press brake This was a model on my PC and turned into some nice folded parts... Steel in this case but the same applies!

mad_pete Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 That eBay post is pretty close to the lines I would be thinking off maybe all the way down to the door at the back with a angled hatch on struts going to the top (and letting all the water in) although making a roller cover would be awesome.
