hunter1 · Apr 15, 2007

so as previously noted im dumb....where that heck are the plastic panels on the speedway site?

hunter1 · Apr 15, 2007

I'm no really sure, all I found was the rolls that were 1/8 thick and 22" wide. so I think that was it. Is there anywere locally to buy plastic?

That's what I use on mine. Easy to cut and durable enough. You can also go to any "plastic place" (Taps Plastics in Bellevue is one) and get 4'X4' sheets of Lexan if you want it clear.

I only run polycarb on my pannels so they dont break or shatter. Go to portplastics i think theirs is like $36.00 for 4x8 sheet of .095. The .095 doesnt disform in the sun and hold up great. Also a jigsaw cuts it perfect and it leaves a good cut.

I just went on there site. which kind of polycarb do you run, there was so many to choose from. Also is it paintable?

Crap i got it out in the shop... Ill try to get the part number. Yeah its paintable! I paint mine on the inside that way it doesnt scratch off and a shitty painter can hide any blemishes. PS i am the shittest painter
