idea : DIY Fastback top for pick-ups

Hi everybody,

just an idea for DIY fastback top for your pick-up.

a lightweight EMT tubing frame (available at HomeDepot)

then recover with ....




..... Boat shrink wrap !

it's not expensive, it's lightweight, it will resist UV, can be replaced if torn by a little punk and no seams. most are 6 mils think but you can add layers for a tougher top.

I may give it a try on my 2006 toyota Tacoma (2wd access cab 4 cyl). but the 7.5l/100km (32mpg) I have right now is hard to beat. (was 8.2 with the fiberglass fullsize top).
