roof work continues...
Hi,
Finally got those roof trim pieces sorted out and installed. Turned out to be an all-weekend project, as 1/2 of the trim pieces I had collected were un-useable after sandblasting them.
After butt-brazing all the last good pieces of straight trim sections together that I had,(my mig welder would just blow holes in them), there was just enough here to do the job.
There were 110 screws and a few bolts used on this roof panel,(not counting washers and nuts), and these were only just the ones holding the wooden pieces and trim to the sheetmetal....
When I add in the rear window surround, front angle-iron and all the mounting bolts to the count, there's at least another 50 or so to be installed before I'm finished with the roof.
Also had to installed a plexi-glass rear window. The rear window opening was too uneven for real glass to survive..
Thanks, David
