proper width.

the thickness of my ends and the length of the sides
of the car. To have the same inset on the ends as
the sides, the roof needs to be 40’ long. This makes
the final dimensions of the roof 9’-0” wide and 40’-
0”. I tapped off the ends and made the necessary
cuts to reduce the length of the roof. Remember the
old saying, “measure twice, cut once”, well I didn’t
and I had to pay the price! I had an error in my
measurements, which I discovered after the cutting
was done and the ribs were sanded off. I was 12”
short on my measurement.
