SNAFU 62,
I considered making my own also and I have reasonable fabrication skills, but Superjeep / Paul's work on these is top notch. Looking at the level of detail in his work makes these worth the cost. Check with Superjeep for cost and shipping. Fit was very good, some minor adjustment of bolt holes required. No hinge was included on the drivers side and I also had to make the top lid latch. David Doyle's new halftrack book has some nice detail pictures to illustrate what the hinge and latch looked like originally.
