I traded those shares for an ocean front condo in Arizona. I haven't been there yet but they say the view is incredible. Lots of sandy beach stretching all the way to the water.
I have been looking for that pic FrankLee. If I find it again I'll cut/copy/paste it here. I thought the 10mm coroplast felt pretty rigid when I got it but I guess not quite enough. I had build an aluminum frame for it but the material was a little suspect from the start. Down and dirty cheap just isn't going to cut it. I found a material like coroplast sandwiched in between two sheets of metal. I think they called it aluma-lite. It was really pricey but the shop told me about something called alu-panel. It's like the aluma-lite but only painted on one side. Still a bit pricey but it seems as rigid as the aluma-lite and much sturdier than the 1/2" coroplast. The aluma-lite was around $125 for a 4x8 sheet. The alu-panel was around $75. I know I'm getting into that "just buy a cheap vinyl cover" range but, if I change my mind and want to try something else later I'll have material already paid for to try and make some skirts or wheel gap fillers. It'll have some holes in it from the bed cover mounting system (still in the re-engineering stage) but it won't cost me any extra $$$.
Now, off to try and find that pic again.
Thanks
