I understand that some materials which certain composites are comprised have varying rates of expansion and contraction caused by environmental conditions. But, I didn't think it would be that severe for epoxy based components.


I've seen epoxy based products just simply snap under pressure in the extreme cold. I just would rather go with something that I know will hold vs a theory that may bite me in the ass down the road.

I finally finished the driver's side window frame today! -19 degree weather and tedious work! Saturday and Sunday sound like they will be around -2 degrees so hopefully I can get some more work finished.

I would love to finish the window frames before heading back to work on Monday

Yup, I'm quite happy

Next step is to glue down the underlying plywood/MDF and then weld the window frame to the bracing.

Today I was able to get the 30 caliber machine gun sound board working

It should be pretty cool, I have some 6 1/2" Marine 200W speakers that will do right under the machine guns and connect into the chassis. Should blast pretty well. I'm also thinking about making hollow muzzles for the 30 cals and running a white LED strip inside of them so that I can do muzzle flash while they fire
