Starting to think (and prepare) about the front curved window and the curved window for the hatch. I had planned on using polycarbonate but have since changed my mind and will use cast acrylic (for various reasons).
I had built a form to use to drape form the plastic.

It was nice and flat when I built it last week, but has since developed some slight sagging between the supports. Quite a drag. I can try and fill it in with bondo and try to sculpt it back to flat.... or maybe put a sheet of aluminum over the curve on the trailer and drape the plastic over that. Still thinking about it.
Also, I had planned on using a local powder coater's oven to heat the plastic and do the draping. But, I think I'd like to be able to have more control of the situation, and will build "an oven" to heat the plastic here at my workshop. Scored a free Weber grill on local Craig'slist, will slice/dice it up and build an insulated box over the burners. Will see how that turns out. Just need to get it up to 300°.
