using styrene tubing i glued them to the side of the front section of the bunk as this real one is contoured and once glued i am cutting and shaping them on the truck

i flattened the hood and glued the square center piece down the middle of the hood and contoured it to start flat at the windshield and raise as it extends to the front and sanded all the rivets off and contoured the front windshield at the bottom corners and made the side windows on the doors bigger to follow the lines as they are closer to the top of the hood as in the picture

this is some of the work i am doing on the fenders and light section.i use paper or cardboard templates and shape and alter those to fit then i use them as the template to cut the styrene this is where i am so far and i cut the roof off of the sleeper and going to try to make the roof cap as in the real truck that will sit on the stock bunk..what do you think so far?
