Nearly got the boot right - dammit!

I've spent the last couple of days designing and building a boot box. It's really come together well, and I know It'll fit just nicely.

The trouble is, I can't get it into place, because the roll bar's in the way... Now the choices are (a) modify the box - but I've got an idea in my mind for the whole boot area and its cover and I don't want to give up yet, or (b) unbolt the roll bar and slide the box in - but this is a wheels-off job so that I can get at the rollbar bolts.

I'm not looking for suggestions... just sulking...

to quote my Hero, Homer Simpson.

"Beer is both the cause of, and the solution to, all life's problems"

I'd get a beer mate.

And take the wheels/roll bar off tomorrow, better than hacking your handiwork about IMO.

Cheers

I saw a history of Henry Ford, how he finished his first car in his garage in the middle of the night, went to drive it out and found the opening wasnt wide enough! Of course, that didnt stop him, he took a hammer to the garage! I also love it when I see American Chopper/Overhaulin etc etc and they have problems! Just cos sometimes I feel everything is going against me, its nice to see a pro in difficulties too

If all else fails get a hammer.

If that fails then get a bigger hammer.
