I hope if/when I ge around to building my cap it comes out as nice as yours.

Thanks for the compliment. The important thing to remember is to use light wieght materials. I doubt that I will have any issues with an upper hinge as the cap is less than 30 lbs. That's probably less than the hatch on a metro!!
I find that the huge Dumbo ear mirrors on the truck, while creating drag, do give an excellent veiw to the rear. I havent missed the rearview mirror that much yet, but then again I'm not the type to use it much anyway
