Homemade Wind Blocker
Wind chill had been driving me nuts lately, so I thought I'd make my own wind block. I ran over to Lowe's and picked up a $7 sheet of 24"x18" Lucite. I used my HDHCHTDD guide and made a cardboard template. I transfered the template to the Lucite and cut away! I then drilled several holes and used zip ties to attach it to my roll bar. Easy and cheap but effective!
Not bad, eh? :p
I prettied it up for AutoX days -
Cheap Bastard Approved!
Noice!
What do you do for the rainy days
'08 Copper Red GT PRHT, '06 Accord EXL, '05 Dodge Magnum R/T, '01 V8 Dakota for pulling 2135 Chaparral.
So how well does it work? I've been thinking of doing something similar for years, but with velcro straps instead of zip ties, so I could remove it.

It works fairly well... I went out on test drives tonight and had no problems with it. I was looking to use velcro cable ties as well but just didn't get around to picking any up. Plus I would have to have used a router to make the holes nice and wide. If I have to remove it, I'll just snip the ties with a pair of snips and get on with life. To replace, just another ten ties. Easy, for me anyhow.
Good job Bean! I like it!
Nice one 3Bean!
Although you could use a simple Dremel tool to do the slots instead of a router

I'd go with the black Duct Tape for more bling
True, but to free hand something that I wanted to look good would have been almost impossible - especially repeating it 10 times. I didn't want to make pattern out of wood to use as a template - besides, the zip ties don't bother me in the least. When I get more roll bar padding, it too will be held on with more ties!Nice one 3Bean!

I bet you keep your pants up with them things as well

With my waist line... they haven' made that many zips yet!I bet you keep your pants up with them things as well
You just loop them through the two belt loops on either side and pull them together. Sort of like old man slacks.With my waist line... they haven' made that many zips yet!I bet you keep your pants up with them things as well
You wouldn't know anything about that, now would you?Sort of like old man slacks.
