Get out the grid and match the model to... |
|
...the reference photo. |
|
|
|
|
Overlay the two photos and plot the roof on the paper. |

Plotted on the paper in pencil (with eraser). |

Cut out the rear area so I can curve it to match the trunk lid. |

The roof is from a '63 Mustang II concept car.. |

I made a boot and attached it to the tub for roof support. |
|
|
I fold the pattern in half, then cut, so both sides match. |

This overlay reveals several things, roof corner, taillight and trunk height. |

I decided to save the tinted roof for another project, so I'm using the roof from the Mustang as an insert. I cut grooves under the roof to help with bending it. |

|
Tip of the day: You might call these persuaders. |
|
|
This is the second try with the rear glass frame. It's looks close enough. Notice I widened the taillight? |
