    Are you using Red Oak there & did you do the tooling ? I dig it , but I believe your gonna need to figure some air flow & drainage underneath.

    The angle strips were pretty sharp so I got some trim lock edge molding for it. All windows are in also

    Wow is that gorgeous. I typically work every vehicle I own, restored or not, but that is so beautiful, I wouldn't have the heart to throw a single hay bale in the back. What beautiful work!
