25 in G roof started

Tonight I have added the start of the head code boxes and then the first sections of the roof cladding.

The plan is to add a layer right over the top, (its 30thou) then rub down the high spots and do a second layer to add strength. Where the side grills are will only be one layer thick to create a recess.

 

Once the second layer is on, giving me a total of 60thou I will again rub down and fill in the lines.

Before the roof can be finished though I need to mount the speakers inside and feed the wire down to an old mp3 player that will be going in the fuel tank.
