Boat Van: the roofening 6


Misc unsorted pics. Cutting down the old roof panel into usable pieces to plug the holes that remain in the roof-addition from the old side door and rear doors.

Test-fit panel is not attached yet. Still deciding on how much metal folding I'm going to do in the absence of a folding brake. I could use contacts at work to custom fabricate some really sweet panels with elaborate folds...but I'm cheap.

Test panel above the door. Held on with a clamp from the interior by the folded edge. I think I'll end up folding the left and right sides to create exposed seams like the van's original vertical joinery, rather than pop rivet the patch panel to the outer edge.
Bad kitty!!
