It's 3/16".

that's it? you're gonna have to do better if you want it to not break the instant it touches something.
Are you just cutting out small windows or doing the whole thing.
Keep in mind what's likely to happen once the sawzall intoxicates you

This thing got off to a bad start in my absence. Instead of simple plate, you need to be thinking flexible skylight. Point it at the offending obstacle and get an eyefull.

brilliant, only add a modern twist.
a tilt/pan camera in an armored plexi enclosure. put one of those pimp my ride tv's in the dash, and a joystick to control it, put this in advanced fab, now we're getting seomwhere!

armored plexi enclosure

Polycarbonate please, not plexiglass.

 

[87manche]

Polycarbonate please, not plexiglass.

polycarbonate is dificult to work with. I was thinking a tube enclosure, like a belly turret, then put the plexi inside the tube, just to keep the random stray rock out.
I think it's the best plan of action, now you don't even have to turn around to look.

 

[87manche]

Ya just call them up. I am sure they can install a water bed with two 30" monitors in the back with a satellite dish. I guess you could throw Beej in back and let him watch (insert nasty porn title). No worries of looking up any guys skirt.

now all you need to do is make it float, take out your back window and use your hatch as a transom for an outboard lol. Then it would really be all terrain AND youd be able to give people rides. Glass bottom boat jeep thing.
