They look real neat. wish i had a laser or plasma would have been so much easier , all done with a jigsaw and a lot of filing and sanding . cutting was the easiest part lol that roof was a bit of a nightmare to be honest but i insisted on doing it all in wood so made a rod for my own back lol .. took a lot of work that roof and not 100 % happy with it to be honest but it will do .. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
