Carl, whilst your dropping the roof height, might think about narrowing it a little, so it is more in proportion.... or am I on about Form before Function?

Having made a form for a shell myself I can tell you what bigred has done is very hard and should be commended.

I am not a fan of cab forward shells though. Too much function over form for me.

Nice job red

its being done today or Tuesday next week and a full 10mm of the top of the cab that makes the side window the same depth as the cat,to be honest the cougar cab roof line is the same height from the ground as the cat, just the cougar looks higher because of the dip the the side pods
