Here's the update on the roof. It took approximately 6 pieces, but it looks pretty good

In this pic, I've just finished soldering hence the clips

And here it is beside the buck

It's going to take much time to file and smooth, but I'm hopeful the end result will be worth it

I either need a life, or I need to go back to work lol! Anyway, here's the rest of today's accomplishments

These are the four pieces that make up the cowl

They fit quite well

Three pieces become one

Here it's all fitted together and tacked together, just a couple of tweaks needed

I think it's pretty

Here's the finish solder

It took close to 2 hours to get it filed and smoothed this clean, and there's a touch more to do

Here it's fitted back to the cab, the fits quite good

Sitting on the frame with the roof in place. However, I realized one of my fears, the roof took on a twist from the heat. I should have added my inner structure before I finish soldered it, impatience wins everytime. In the end though it should be good.
Hope I'm doing a decent job of representing a Pete at this stage.
