The cut-out is being welded closed.
Here it is fully closed, still just tack welded.
I made templates for the side windows, in order to get a smooth shape in this area. As with the windshield the side windows are going to be flush with the roof, and also with the door sheet metal. I put in a lot of effort getting all transitions between sheet metal and glass as smooth and seamless as possible. The templates will later be used to create bucks for shaping the Lexan or similar side windows. The angle-iron is used for holding the A-pillar's shape, before it is fully welded to the roll cage.
Another view of the side window template.
Here, I have started to weld the edge of the roof to the roll cage. The drip rail has gone to the blessed land.
Most of the sheet metal work on the driver side is done. Now, it's just a matter of duplicating it on the passenger side. Phew!!
View from the rear. The curvature of the roof side had to be modified, to give a smooth transition to the side glass.

The work on the passenger side has started.
