    ok .. I lied !!

    I had to do 1 more thing before paint ..

    I had to build a moulding/cover for the transition between the roof and cab

    started by building it in Pieces , and then glassing it together ..

    trimmed and "snapped" into place ..

    If you ever need windows for the canopy I can get some made for you as long as they're flat. I work at a glass manfuacturing company an I can get custom sizes cut an tempered if you ever need it
