rovingmind:
yep thats what i'm calling the canopy beam. then my earlier post fits, router and template with chisel to make the inside corners sharp where needed.
link high res photos of the colorado guys cab
only time im going to link these and the link will go dead in one week since they are not my photos. I
I posted them for reference for this project only

Ok to keep from flooding Modesitts dimensions post i'm going to post any and all design discussions here since they can get a bit carried away.
Where we are right now is a small modification to the bottom box to allow the entire machine to be broken down into three sections to make it easily stored/ moved/ dissassembled.
There are no proposed images of this change yet but visibly there shouldn't be any noticible changes to the exterior barring possibly an extra pair of bolts if neccessary for stiffness on the canopy beam ends.

still waiting for some dimensions but i had to start somewhere, organic model just to look at vertice locations.

im sure this has been said, but a full wiki on this is a must if your cool with that, seems your going to eventually compile a full how to build on the cockpit so itd be great for others, it has to be the ultimate project, and along with david at ram's work , its such a possibility now.
so looking forward to mine being delivered :D
keep up the good work fella :cheers:

I don't know if i would have the time for a full wiki. Anything i am able to provide here is more than welcome to be added to it though.
I hadn't thought of doing a full how-to build it set. Just complete parts diagrams and patterns for the complex side panels.
If somebody else wants to take the finished cutting files and put them into a how-to build it set provided free to the community thats fine by me if its fine by the people also helping with this great project.
with 3d models of the various panels, exploded views showing the part layouts would be easy enough to make.
