Now Make up Templates "X", "Y" and "Z" from Card Stock
or use our optional roof rounding kit, which has these Templates
pre-made. Use these templates to check the roof contour at lines
X, Y and Z as per the roof end notations shown on page 1.
Cut and sand the Lower Roof sections using Template "X"
Next, use template "Y" to make four roof overhang pieces
from 1/8" x 3/4" wide stripwood.
Remember, this is a cut and fit procedure. First, cut off Small
Portions of the Roof Top overhang until Points "K" and Points
"L" of the roof overhang pieces fit and cement in place.
Now cut and sand the Roof Ends to match Template "Z"
What does all this mean? Easy, be patient and get a piece of emery
cloth and take a little off the ends at a time. Just pull with the Grain
of the wood, like polishing a pair of shoes.
Make Roof Walk (34) from Stripwood with the combination
colors Red and Black and (35) Stripwood with both ends colored
Brown.
Tip: Place your sandpaper, sand side up on the roof and sand the
roofwalk to the roof curve by just rubbing across the Sandpaper.
Now paint the car and the roof. After the
car is painted, add the Clear Mylar Window material
