Building a roof like this..

fishandfly · 04-20-2009, 07:05 PM

Hey guys. I just had one of my best days ever. I found a brand new 2008 yamaha gas limo on craigslist for far too low of a price. I expected it to be junk, but upon arrival I started salivating as I see a quality limo conversion done by a reputable shop, 5" jakes spindle lift, and the 12" aluminum wheels/offroad tire combination I've wanted for a long time.

I'll get pictures later, but here's my deal. It doesn't have a top. I started staring at it sitting next to my 05 ezgo shuttle 6 and couldn't stand the thought of putting a normal roof on it. It is already on the verge of looking like my ultimate custom cart, so I need to build a custom roof like this:

Has anyone else done this? Anyone in Atlanta with a tube bender?

Yea...thats MMT. (Mikes Motor Toys) He builds real nice stuff.

Being ignorant and all, I initially said to myself it should be stainless.. Then I looked up how much a foot of ss tube costs.

I think Mike's top blows away a fiberglass top.

I spoke with Mike today asking if he sells the tops by themselves and the answer was a quick no. Nice guy though. He has some serious talent.

I've sent off requests to a few local metal shops who bend metal for estimates. I'll get it rolling soon.
