If they are the ribs below the windscreen they are there to deflect wind noise from the windows themselves and send airflow over the top of them.

I've been following (lurking) this thread for some time following your progress with great interest.  Absolutely fascinated by all that you have been able to do  in the time I have been following.

The sheepskin looks awesome! Where did you source this from?  I'd like to try to do this if I can to my single Cpt side seat

Hey Matt!

Thanks for the kind words. The fabric for the seats came from Joann Fabrics and the 2.5 yards cost me a crushing $16

I might need to take out a second mortgage for that!  Can't believe it never occurred to me to do it that way.  Quick - to the bat mobile!

[Flyboyandre]

Oh yeah and add $5.99 for some spray adhesive

My buddy Gene so graciously took care of the CAD drawing of the frame for the wraparound screen. Then he fed his Shopbot 4 sheets of 3/4" poplar plywood and voila......we have all the framing components for what will become my 220 degree visual.

Well, i've done it again. My OCD told me that I had taken too many shortcuts while building the MIP so I tore the damn thing apart and started from scratch.
You can also see the new screen mounts i crafted.

All this building --> tearing it apart --> rebuilding makes me come up with new ideas all the time. Here is a shot of the new monitor brackets I crafted along with a new way to attach the PFD/ND bezels to the screens. I glued a neodymium magnet to the 4 corners of each bezel. As you can see I added a thin strip of steel across the bottom of the MIP to provide added strength and a surface for the magnets to snap onto. The bezels snap securely in place and can be easily removed for dusting the screen, etc.

[Flyboyandre]

Figured I'd post a teaser of the projector screen during assembly process.

Figured I'd share a small update of my screen setup. I will post a full series of pictures from the screen construction on my blog with my next update.

That's some seriously good woodworking skills there, Andre.

What is the total width of the wrap-around screen. looks like it might fit in my garage.

Andre,
Is the radius of your screen 6 ft?
Thanks

Sorry for the lack of updates but it has been a busy couple of months at work during this holiday craze! I hope you all had a fantastic holiday season and that the new year has started well.
I decided to seize the forum updates of my project since it was hard to keep 5 forums going at the same time. I have now created a website where I will keep everyone updated in rapid fashion. The page also has it's own basic forum so feel free to use it.
