Bit busy over the weekend, but tonight I have sanded down the epoxy filler on the roof edges and added plastikard to the roof "downstand" in order to lose the inward bow on one side.
The filler sands beautifully and the resulting edge is good and durable - very impressive.
As this picture shows, on the "pushed out" side I could really do with running some more filler along the roof's edge towards the middle of the vehicle so that the roof edge is parallel to the top of the bodyside. I'd get away with not doing it, but will persevere as although it's more work the method will definitely yield the required result. I may well make the fixing bolt and bracket assembly first though, this will ensure exact alignment of the body to roof assembly when adding the filler.
It's getting there….
