Fat Fabrications hard sides and roof

[Todd]

It looks good on mine too and my favorite part about it is the fact that it's paid for. I'm afraid I'd have to add too much to boot for one of those steel one. It does look good though.

It looks really good!

How does front top seal with the front door tops?
Any close up pictures of that seal?

[Andre]

the front door tops seal against the stock front door jam. My cap attaches to the stock bow support. Why rebuild what works.

Ive got 2 more bumpers to get out and 2 trucks to finish assembly. My truck is due for new canvas and that is when I will be working on the hardtop set up as the metal should cost 25% of the cost of new canvas(labor not included).

As for the serbian window wagon. I like it! Wish I had the same level of composite fabrication skills as I do Metal.

for interest sake I messaged the guy from the video
"Roofs are from 1mm steel sheet and side panels are from plexiglass."

[Andre]

this is how it came out with RV windows

[EmbarkChief]

That looks great!

[transalpian]

Agreed, it looks fantastic!

Are we still talking $1200 to $1600 as shown with the windows? Do you need the truck to fab these or are the trucks "similar enough"?

I have a particular interest in just the rear door section, allowing a full-height door that can be operated from the inside.

We probably need to talk...

I like the rear windows on yours better than the massive plexi on the Serbian hardtop

[Andre]

i can build the front top and rear top for $1600. The labor involved to make these side and rear panels correctly and last as long as the truck, runs closer to $3200 RAW (no windows, no powder coating, no tool box locks, no hinges with air shocks, you install.) but they ship flat and most trucks are close enough to make work.

*Notice to Potential Buyers*

If you have rolled your truck over on its side or top, or backed into a tree or other stationary object, You may need to have any distortion in the body and roll members corrected prior to fitting up parts.
This includes: front end damage that changes the door fitment or windshield alignment, bowed out side panels, twisted bow supports, festering rust under the skin of the roll members.

Here are some pics of the hard sides with windows (un-powder coated) with one of the roof racks.

Top looks great Andre!

[Andre]

Ok. I've been doing some math. If I can get at least 6 purchase commitments(Deposits). I can purchase the bender needed to build these from home at a cost of $2800 per each 5 piece Set(front top, rear top, 2 side panels, and 1 rear panel with door top)

This price would only be for the first 6 purchasers of the hard top kits. The price gets you the panels, for a 710m, in raw form. So you can paint, install windows, weather strip, etc. on your own time if you don't have the budget to have me do it for you.

I haven't built hard sides for a 712 yet, But I believe it can be done at a price proportional to the materials needed.

This is definitely along the lines of what I will want you to build for me Andre, per our Facebook Messenger conversations.

I would like Aluminum and will want to do a roof rack at the same time. I need to think through how I want to do gear management and may want to have you integrate externally accessible storage somewhere in the design...

This is going to be expensive. but awesome!

aluminum always is.
