The roof was pretty much done except it was too narrow after the chop. I widened it with styrene down the middle. It's set in position and propped up with some temporary 'A' posts. A severe chop, the side glass is only 7 inches high.. |
|
|
I wanted to preserve the look of the '56 as much as possible. The signals become brake cooling ports. Putty is PlasticWood, no I haven't changed much. |
|
A '60 Ford windshield is being used. Might as well do the foundation first. I first cut off the posts because the glass will be laid back. |

The windshiled set into position. It would have very easy just to use a Vette windshield, but wanted to do this as if it were the 60's. A 60 Chevy was still a wrap around, hence the Ford windshield. |

|
I had to add some more styrene along the top edge of the windshield for the right fit. The roof is fixed into position. Get out the putty ! |
|
Elmer's Wood Filler to give the roof the right shape.It was a little too flat. I may have to get another one of these to help remember what it used to look like. |
