Me likes the 916 repro job. Me thinks one with a 2.7 and nice flares. OOOooooh this is evil stuff. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)
For those who dare to be cool, the roof does bow two ways but, I'm certain that a piece of guage metal bent as it is to the sides and forced to bend to the frame is not a big deal. The front to back hump is less than 1/2" and the metal will give easily with some clamps. The front corners will show the mosty stress but that can be cut and puttied as shown in the pic. The door edges can be first attached with the given hump and the roof then be cut to fit the shape. It is mostly an illusion which can be easily made if the builder has a little artistic insite and experience. This roof can be made with a flat light guage sheet if metal and the most basic of tools without a hitch or a kit. |
