How to build a canopy lid in 12 easy steps..
Step 1: Ask Ryan Beckley.. this save a **** load of time.
We than took a think plastic sheet and bent it over the opening to make a part from.
I Than laid a sheet of cloth over the part to help it hold it's shape after I un-screwd it.
We than took the parts and wraped them with 5 or 6 sheets of cloth and some expoy thats pretty strong (and pricey)

The black line is were the finish part will be cut to
I Than took a router and cut the notch for the lid to sit into. I drilled a guide bolt into the base of the router so I could set my width. Check all the canopy dust..
Fits perfect!, Now I just need some hardware (on the way) - and finish paint..

Quick spray bomb ...
The latch is being dropped off later today, with a little luck and time off work I can get in the water in the next few days.
