Yeah, sounds good. I read more carefully your post after I posted...sort of a post post thorough what did I just post regarding his post.....anyway, I apologize. You asked a specific question and I rehashed crap I been spewing for months.
I'd say you'd be better off curving the tops of the sides and curving the clear stuff "Front to Back", and, having the lexan be straight "side to side". It will be a compromise since getting it to "form fit" at the top of the rear glass will require the sides to be a little too high and the center too low, but if I were gonna choose, I'd go that route. I was thinking of having to get medieval on a 2 x 6 to make the complex top of glass transition. I was going to look for a chunk of lumber from the local purveyor of housing supplies for a 2 x 6 that was already cupped pretty good, then just start whittling away at it till it formed an airtight fit on the top of the glass. I have all the wood working tools (power hand planer, jig saw, & belt sander) to make that easy..er, but thought that’s what was going to be a key part for me. I'd think you could do the same and just sculpt the wood in such a way as to ease the transition from crowned to flat across the top there. Crazy talk?....maybe, maybe just crazy enuf to werk!
Any way, 2 more ¢ from me.
