About the canopy, we both have the same problem! We can't justify the expense of a professionally built one, so we need to do our own thing - I got a great book (An introduction to Thermoforming) and have started making my own machine. I will use vacuum formed panels over temporary (grp & bondo) male moulds for all my bodywork.
Wish you luck, and look forward to seeing some images

Yes, I see the next stage being about 2 months of little things like re-wiring, re-routing controls, building some interior pieces and ventilation system, etc. Thankfully, must of what I am doing is just moving things around; it should not be all that much work. I am nearly done with structural elements and am looking forward to cleaning the metal filings form my workshop.
Building molds is a problem for me. I’m not very artistic and I feel like it is more of an art then a science. Also very time consuming. By design I have just limited this to the front windshield.
Well you guys want photos, this will have to do for now. Made some progress today, I still need to build my lower braces for engine. It’s too floppy to wheel around without these braces or the sheet metal empennage installed.
