Great work Blacky, are you going to use an original screen or laminated to try to cut down?

Probably not Greg, with the lower roofline it won’t line up anyway , the join will be kept close to a fold to keep warpage down to a minimum

A bit more progress on this - most of the frame has been redone and the door frames modified to suit - it’s up to me now to grind down a windscreen so John can make the windscreen aperture and then the roof skin can go on.
Check the 2 pics below - you can see the difference to the roofline that is made by sliding the skin back

is it staying with the roof back, what will you do for rear screen? we had to chop mine twice (kind of roof was only sat on to look at it) but yeah had to take more out of the rear to get a humpy look out of the rear of the roof
