3 months ago, if you asked me about cutting the canopy, I would start to sweat profusely, dry mouth and maybe even wet myself just thinking about the scary big cut. about 2 weeks ago I decided, what's the big deal....can't be that tough....plenty of people have safely made the cut. So trimmed the front, rough fit it to the frame. no sweat. Today I finally had time to make the split.
The shop was only 70*F, but in 30 minutes my double shop lights had it >85.
15 minutes later. perfect split
I can now move it around by myself.
Cutting the canopy turned out to be like many of the tasks...EASY. I used Vans supplied disks in my Mac air drill @ medium speed, lots of shallow passes and light pressure until it was ready to fall apart.
