also... are you just showing the freedom tops as the inspiration, or did you make something to attach them to the cover?

Thanks for your comments they are two hinges in front, but still missing the cylinders to pop it up.when closed there are two latches that locks the lid in place

wow. wow. wow. that's pretty cool. I wish I was as handy.
How long did it take you to make?
To make the mold and one piece.. About 40 hrs..
I also incorporated a track for a Thule rack either for skis or a pup up tent.. Not including a lot of head scratching

Yikes! Serious amount of work. That track is very useful.

Could you make more? I feel like you could sell those, but shipping might be a pain in the behind...

Sorry for the late response, the outside hinges are stainless marine hardware and the inside lock is sold by Spaenaur (door lock ) all the rest is pretty much custom made
