Good job, my friend!

I see you use your "adjustable workbench" like I do... makes you wonder how you ever got along without it...

Learning from me will be like learning from a 1st grader.

Thanks Doc, Oh ya not having to kneel on the floor to construct stuff is awesome.

I have 2 two post lifts. At the time it was what I needed now, it would be nice to have 1 two post and a 4 post lift.

I thought about a two post , but after lots of fretting over it the four post made more sense for me. It's a great level build platform and as Doc says the best adjustable work bench.

Roof frame came out awesome.[cl[cl Could you take it to a junkyard and lay it on top of a car and find one with the same shape?[P[P

Thanks Kenny, I have thought of doing what you suggest, but the closest wrecker is over an hour away

Plan B. Do you have an English wheel or a friend with one or enough use to buy a cheap one from Horrible Freight or used off Craig's list or Flea bay?

I Have used mine very little and it is a cheap harbor freight one. I found on larger pieces if I draw a grid on them I have a reference for where I am working and it helps to not over do an area and I can remember where I need more work. Go slow and start with a wheel that doesn't have much crown. good luck.[P[P

Slow progress for sure, this roof and sunroof is kicking my butt. I have the sunroof sheet metal pretty much straightened out the best it's gonna get. I chose to do the roof in two pieces because of the step down I had to do for the sunroof sheet metal to lay in, the throat on my bead roller is only 18"s . I'm planning on installing the sunroof sheet metal to the roof sheet metal with copper rivets, I'm afraid touching the welder to the tinfoil thick sheet metal from the G5 roof will warp the crap out of it. So before I can start assembly I have to wait for my panel adhesive to arrive.

Looks like pro quality work to me.

Just curious, do you use metric measurements?

Thanks Bob, no metric measurements here, the only metric that makes sense to me is temperature and speed.

Looks good. Your step flange is a great idea for the flimsy donor piece! [cl
