Appreciatin the props guys. I love how it turned out.

I got the top all lined up and tacked the way I wanted it. Since the mis-match was high-front/low-back, I could have either brought the front down to match the back, brought the back up to match the front, or moved both to meet half way.

Well, after looking at it and looking at the pictures I decided the back needed to come up to give it the roof line I wanted.

So I made two relief cuts in the rear roof and added more high density foam under the rear most roof support. Those have this foam strip in the center of the ribs factory so I took the strip out of the one that got cut out along with the 20" of roof, and added it to this one.

Extra foam:

I also cut the upper trim and put in in place for a test fit (ya, a little ahead of myself, but I wanted so see it...).

All lined up...
