Default Little feet and snow......

Hi Alex

My roof was reasonably sound considering all the wood had fallen off ad numerous "roof light" had been installed by the previous garage owner.

Heavy things must have fallen on it over the years has a few creases had straight ridge marks....... and when stored for 16 years at a friends place it had been a play thing for his kids. The worst was the kink in the welded hat shape bracket re reinforcement that runs across the roof. It is still not perfect and will get back to sorting what is left...... there must have been over a dozen holes drilled for wires and lights. When the sheet metal bottom section is all replaced we will have another go at the roof until we are satisfied that a light skim coat of glazing compound will finish the outside.

For it's size, it is by far the most complex part of the truck to finish.

Will be building a rotisserie to tackle the repro of the 2B1 box copied form 3 rusted hulks.

Cheers

Default Will try....

Hi Jordan

Will try it this way first........ we were encouraged by the previous efforts of Grant when he did his cab 13 roof.......... plan "B" will be to do like you and replace the whole sheet.

Time will tell.
