Default body sides...

Hi,
After two failed attempts at making the tops of the body sides to my liking, I decided to go to "plan B". Not original, but gets me out of a three weekend rut and allows me to move on with the project.....
Have piles of 1 5/8" x 1 5/8" Unistrut here that had sparked my interest.
Used the plasma cutter to cut off one of the curled edges the length of the rail, notched it to fit my end angle iron pieces on the body and welded on an end cap.
Looks good, is strong and gives the body sides a nice finished edge, but has no curve for the tubing top canvas structure. Bolted this piece on along the body sides, so it can be removed easily later if a better option is found.
Thanks, David
