Material update

Thanks everyone! glad i can be of some help, for ideas.

I went to the sign shop yesturday for more Coroplast and some thin Clear material. Me and the shop owner got to talking, $6 for a square foot of 1/8" Polycarbonate was the best he had, BUT its more of a custom odrder material and i'd have to buy a 4' x 8' sheet... More talking, He went into the back to check his stock for scraps. 5mins later, he drags this 18" x 72", 3/16 thick Polycarbonate strip from his scrap
Tells me $20(including tax) since it's been back there forever.

Being one not wasteful of my own scraps, I actually took a second to think about it

Started thinking of what else I could do with it and took the deal!

Maybe, just maybe, one more time with this blasted Kamm lol.
...I'm Gonna have fun with this!!!

*EDIT* I'd be glad to have a full Hinged Kamm like I and "2000neon" has fabricated. New Car = Not being able to securely fasten such a structure without making holes or using rivets/screws into the body i'm pretty SOL
