Shelter Half Bikini Top

[jrscoe]

I figured you guys might like this. I figured I would give it a shot and see if I could save some cash and make my own bikini top. 10 bucks for the Shelter Half a few bucks for grommets and someone you know that will let you use their sewing machine. I am having issues posting pics, but there are a couple more in my album.

Dude, I gotta say...that was pretty inspired! I doubt it would keep the rain out much, but it'll keep the sun off!

Dang, now I'm gonna have to dig mine out when I get home!

Little bit of Scotchguard should keep it water repellant! I made one kinda the same years ago for my FJ40, but it didn't look nearly as nice! Good Job!

That's really cool. You get a bunch of 'em from DRMO and you could build yourself a little fortune.

NIK WAX will water PROOF it. it's ten bucks a jug and is the best water proofing stuff I've ever used. It's wash in, can't see it or smell it. I use it on my snowboarding gear. There are different types for different materials.

Good stuff...Maybe if I end up keeping and building my YJ (project American Infidel I) I would do something similar since its a YJ tribute to the MB...All OD baby...
And you beat me to it DD...Maybe he menat Wind boarding or surf? Hate it when that Fla ocean water gets in my small clothes...

As I woke this morning to the blast of another mortar (yea) It made me remember how different the Army was when I came in in 1990. The use of "shelter halves" or bivys is a long dead aspect I think.. isn't it? Shoot, most these folks would barely recognoze BDU pattern on a poncho liner! Heehee.
Which makes me glad you chose this for you build..nothing like the smell and feel of good old fashioned canvas!!! And od green is the best color!!!
