As for the hatch and the tight radius,I Have a secret plan! If it works I will show it off in a week or so,if it doesnt I will change the rear design a little,
I am going to try a car trunk type hinge,but that may change,
Thanks! Aaron

Thanks guys!, I wish my back was stronger, I had a 700 lb roll of carpet slide down the stairs going to the third floor of my house and twisted my upper torso almost 180 degrees and destroyed my spine,lost sensation in both hands and my left leg plus a bunch of other nerve damage and constant pain, But I can still walk! (crooked)
Spinal injuries affect EVERYTHING, so dont take a strong back for granted, I used to do everything myself and now I'm old beyond my years for not asking for help with the heavy stuff. Take care of your back,you cant imagine how much your life can be affected by one stupid mistake
Thanks! Aaron

Spent an entire week on a hardwood floor on moist heat packs with back spasams from twisting while unhooking a 5x8 U-Haul trailer while working as the center manager. The 1st sign of tenderness in my back I hunt down my back brace. I am no longer to proud to ask for help either. Been there an it's no fun.

I have tried the back brace,I had one custom made at an orthotics place,
I looked like a Roman soldier when I wore it,It was made out of thermal plastic and contoured to all my muscles (The muscles that are gone now!)
I wore that thing 24 hrs. a day for almost a year. I have another similar one now but it doesn't help.
My surgeon wants to implant a morphine pump in my spine but I am a big chicken when it comes to surgery,
I will probably have it done after this!
Thanks, Aaron
