For anyone wondering, you can now purchase custom sizes for a complete fry hatch lid system that has a drain port already in place for water.

CLEAN! Hatches look great Derek!

Nice work man.

Looks great brother !

where's the rest of the videos

Dude nice job

Absolutely outstanding video! Now, can you help me out regarding what you were saying about the EVA foam versus carpet… Something about it being flush but not having to worry about it if it’s carpet??… I am totally lost on that part… ”It” is gonna stick up a little higher that way ”It” won’t bind?… What exactly are we talking about here regarding the hinge, carpet, EVA, and the height or flushness?? I watched several times but can’t figure out specifically what you mean.

how much stronger is tig welding compared to this?

Great job Derek. I really appreciate your videos. Q: Are you planning or do you think you need to add a support brace under the hatch lids? Thanks again for taking the time to document your work. Doing so has made us all smarter.

What did you do to make the lid? Also, did you put a drain port?

What did you make the lids out of or how. Angle with a sheet on top or alum tube ? With the sheet on top

Where did you get the dry track from? Looks like the easiest solution!

How is the braze holding up?

how old are you if u dont mind me asking lol, I'm 18 and gonna start my build soon

You Derek, how's college life?

That channel will only hold so many drops of water, before the dry hatch becomes a wet hatch, you didn’t say or show how the water drains out of the dry lip track.
