Making a cap w/ pics

[Knight]

When they make soft sided doors and windows, what is the material used for the windows that is sewn in?

I believe it is vinyl?

Sorry to hear that granite counter tops made the car go away.

Any kind of plastic is going to be prone to scratching; but if you go acrylic, find a good plastics supply house as they will have what you want. They won't be as cheap as Home Despot; but getting what you need versus what HD's clueless buyers think you need will make the difference between a successful project and a disappointing one.

Soft side windows are usually a vinyl of some kind.

I am not fastening to the fenders, The 1/2" square tube is the door frame. It will stop against the side of the fender.

car is gone we have granite counter tops now

Great job on bending the 1/2" square tubing.

Hate to hear about the car...but granite tops are nice too.

Thanks for the pictures.....Keep posting

I'm up in the air about glass/acrylic and what to use. I really want glass, because that will make the cab look better in the long run.
Anyways, I have the doors framed. I am ordering lift off hinges from
McMaster Carr.

Oh, I forgot to mention.......I have bought no materials for this project. I used a squat rack for the cab top, and pieces of metal I had laying around.
I did buy a new bandsaw, The one in the last picture was replaced. I gave that saw to a friend.

Really looks good!

I have seen people making cabs go different ways on the windows.

Some put gaskets in and some have glass glued in.

Nice work

thanx,
Where can I buy door lever/latch hardware?

 

[Knight]

I looked everywhere I could think of. Simple lever latch for the doors.
I'm not sure what they are called. Any ideas?

Nice job your doing there. When I'm looking for hardware like your looking for I either check out a heavy truck parts place or even a RV parts store.

Try searching trailer supplies for door latches.
