I used carriage bolts to hold it together .. (just like factory) and I used a product called sikiflex So no other bolts just for the outer shell and the bed? Reason i ask is I had litle like 7mm bolts that held the outer shell to the bed then the carriage bolts for the topper to the outer shell.

there are also pop rivets , but I thought it was redundant , so I only used the carriage bolts

well fall is here . took the ol' girl out for her last drive of the season ... it was a beautiful day . topped off the fuel tank and added some stabalizer and blanketed her for the cold with her cover . Off to her cave she goes for hybernation till spring .

Man, that is one beautiful build! Don't blame you at all for the forced hibernation! I was just hoping to have mine more completed before Winter. Ah well...
