STEP11:Roof details
34: Add the running board supports. They are
made from scale 2x4 stripwood cut into 12”
lengths. Each pair is spaced 24” apart; the 2”
dimension is bonded to the roof. Omit the sup-
ports directly above thewindows; this iswhere the
stove stackwill exit the roof.

35:When the glue has dried, sand the top of the
supports flat. I place a piece of 320 sandpaper
on a flat surface, flip the car over and lightly sand
until the supports are flat. Add a 23” grab iron to
the roof when the sanding is completed.

36: Cut two pieces of
scale 6x6 stripwood 24”
long. Notch the underside
tomatch the slope of the
roof.
