It's been a bit since my last update. Mostly because I've been working away on the 10cwt trailer. Today one of my Chiefs was over so that we could roll some beads on a good for his hotrod. Anyway short end of a shorter story I got him to help me out putting the offset edge along the cab roof rear panel. It's been bugging me since last fall to get it done but I just never really felt confident using the roller on my own. Well seeing how easy it went with his hood and using that as practice we setup the roller on my big work bench. It gave us enough room to feed the sheet in and also let it come out the other end. After a few trial runs on some scrap we had figured out the spacer blocks to get the right depth. Once we started rolling everything went very smooth. Next up will be getting the panel fitted and welded in. Then I plan on cutting the window hole and rear comms hole.
