I welded a strip of sheet metal to the side of the roof on the passenger side, to ease the transfer of the shape from the driver side.

Templates were made to transfer the shape of the roof to the other side.

Here is the roof edge that needed modifying to be symmetrical to the driver side.

After getting the roof shape right, the edge was welded to the cage with a piece of sheet metal. Like I said before, all sheet metal is of the high strength type, about 3 times stronger than normal (old) car body sheet metal. Most sheet metal used is 0.7 mm thick, compared to the 1.0 mm that most people use.

The passenger side A-pillar is mocked up.

With the A-pillar tacked in place, the part connecting the A-pillar to the roof side can be shaped.

This is a view from below, of the cross bar and diagonals in the dash area. Later, a removable triangulated strut brace in the engine compartment will attach to the intersection of these tubes.

The cowl/firewall had to be modified quite a bit, to fit it to the new windshield. Here, the edge is just rough cut.

Most of the sheet metal connecting the roof and the windshield frame to the roll cage can be seen here.

The windshield is being mocked up in the correct position, in preparation for the construction of a curved beam that will act as lower windshield frame. Since the cowl has been weakened by the cutting away of some sheet metal, I decided to make this beam fairly large in cross section. The line on the windshield shows where the hood edge will be. This gives some space to park the wipers in a hidden position below the hood.
