    You saved a massive amount of money on that compared to buying a fiberglass high top roof. I think it's great!

    Awesome. Looks better than the big wood ones I've seen.

    I have that same model van and most tops look like a pimple. You some how made it look like it belonged and you smoked the build. Fantastic job

    Do you think someone could build a hightop with wood❔

    • @palemoonart
      @palemoonart  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can totally build a van top out of wood. I would construct it similar to old-school wooden planes. Thin ribs and lots of glue to keep the weight down.

    Good looking shop, hey do you think this van will be kinda top-heavy?

    • @palemoonart
      @palemoonart  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Good question! The existing roof weighed about 200 pounds. This roof weighs around 425 pounds. I believe the little bit of extra weight still makes it safe, and the tapered sides may help shift the weight to the center of the van.

      @@palemoonart i would be curious on how it handles, thanks

    • @palemoonart
      @palemoonart  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I haven't noticed much change in the handling except when driving through desert high winds! I have been weaving through Los Angeles traffic for the last 2 years with no problems at all. I'd say the biggest issue is not being able to drive into parking garages. Lol

    What do you think, it is possible to use spare van and cut off 3feet from him to make extension

    Cost of materials + time taken? Ready made fibre glass one like this costs about €3000 where I live.

      Hi,
      I would charge $3000 for labor + materials. At the time, materials cost around $500. Somewhere between $3500 - $4000 total
