Brief Description: Canopy bubble #3

Today was the day for the "big cut". We used a cardboard template sandwiched between the canopy frame and roll bar to indicate the cut line. Took a deep breath and cut the canopy in half with the Dremel. Trimmed the forward and aft sections to final shape. Once the canopy was in two pieces the trimming, fitting and cutting became a lot easier.
