Reply to "How-To guide for building a new dome structure on your passenger car"

Update, Nov 28th

After yesterdays project update I believe I have made it through the most difficult part of this ACF dome structure build. Before everything gets painted I wanted you to see what the raw parts looked like in unfinished form. Below are the aluminum front & back roof extensions, front & rear brass window assemblies and new center aluminum window section next to the plastic Budd dome.

Next, secure all the pieces together with CA glue. Then sand, prime, repeat until smooth. Here’s the latest photo of the new ACF dome assembly while waiting for the gray Tamiya primer to dry.

The above photo makes it easier to see the differences between the Budd and ACF style domes. a. No horizontal crossbars through the windows. b. Large center roof section. c. Tall side window for better viewing.

Stay tuned for the next step…
