How I closed the side gaps on my TX

[Obievon[501st]]

Okay this is what I did today,

 

First I took a No Parking sign, (got it from Lowe's) cut it to fit and fill the gap by using armor on Monkey Dummy.

 

Then I glued some cloth that I found at the fabric store by using spray glue and e6000 (spray both pieces let set, then apply dry on dry and e600o the edges, it's not coming off)

 

Applied some cool gator design felt on the inside (My thinking is it should help hold the upper pieces in place and it protects my under armor.)

 

Pop rivet the sides on .

 

Then went back in and cover the rivets on the inside with cut out felt and e6000.

 

Okay over kill, maybe? Look cool? Yes. ( I think )

 

Hey it's a TX what can I say??

 

I'm heading back to the old grindstone (work). I did get a-lot done the last few days. Almost there. Thanks for putting up with my rantings and I know it's a TX, but wait I'll start on a TK right after this one. I promise!!

Oh and one thing, yes there is a-lot of area there. I only needed to close off 2", but I thought I could add more area for the velcro to attach on the inside. And there is no problem holding.
