Thanks Darin -- the leading edge would definitely need to seal the gap. Extending the pink "foam" surface forward to the cab would be easy to do.

I've been practicing -- once you get the base model imported from the 3D Warehouse, it is much easier. I drew the centerline profile, the transom profile next, and the slim side panel, and then the front panel at the gap. then I drew the main "valley" arc; followed by all the other longitudinal arcs. The infill triangles are last.
