the materials? Well 1/2 inch plywood for the roof, (leftovers)The side glass is a section of used aluminum wondows, and I also used plexi that was from the 'dump' I did buy the front windshield piece (I wanted it to be free of scratches.)Its very basic, and there are many "leaks" and I now thing that was a good idea , as I dont experience fogging.
When I push past a pine tree with snow weighting it down, It takes care of most of it, but some snow comes in and gets me wet. But I just remember before when I didnt have any protection, and its much better.
It serves its purpose.
I agree, if I were to have to spend alot of time in it it would be better with heat. I ran one at work that had a full heated cab and I never used a coat. And I try not to wear one in my cab either. makes it alot easier moving ..
I think its an easy project for anyone to do, once they get past the stage of thinking its gonna look mickey mouse.And it helps to have lots of scrape material around.I have used alot of left over rubber roof material that a friend was tossing out.
You never know what is junk and what isnt untill you haul it off to the dump or junk yard. Then you find that your wanting a certain thing that youve tossed. Always the way...Im not sure how many have made their own cab, but maybe it could be another post.
