Somebody dimensioned their star wars cockpit
ChadTower:
Yeah, if he makes the build plans, that's way more than enough. I would possibly be willing to make a build write-up in the future once I have the project bandwidth and have more experience with cabinet building itself.
rovingmind:
proposed modification to the base, allowing the cabinet to be easily split for transport and storage.
This would make it 4 pieces, (the bases are INSIDE the bottom, shown lower just for viewing the shape), attachment guide pins, bolts, and bottom casters not done at this time, this is just a rough draft not to scale.
You would have the two cab sections, the single intact canopy section, and the footboard.
Comments guys?
For purists, both plan sets will be part of the finished drawing, this to be as an alternate.

didnt mean to seem demanding in saying that , just praising the effort, and saying its a project that'll be worth a full wiki due to its popularity. :cheers:

Okay, got some time coming up this weekend to take some more measurements....
As far as the removable canopy.... remember that the only thing connecting the two sides is a single crossbar that goes between the plexis. This probably won't be sturdy enough to keep the canopy rigid enough for easy removal. it may be nexessary to add small crossbars at both ends for extra support.
Just a thought....
And I need to get you some photos of how sit-down racers join their seats to their bodies. Got a couple in the warehouse....
