Stretch the Lid

I spent a few hours on it today getting the back corners in place. You can see how much narrower the top is than the sides… now that it’s 4″ further down.

With just some tack welds in place, you can see how the curve of the “B” pillar needs to be narrowed as well:


Since it’s double-paneled, similar work needs to be done on the inside. As you can see, I’ve still got a lot more to do here:
After the problems I had with the windshield of the ‘56 Ford,
I don’t think I’m going to adjust or weld the “A” pillars in place
until after I cut the glass. (I’ll have a much better chance of getting
them right the first time this way.)
