Thought I would update this thread with my progress. I took some measurements of the truck and the cap. I stripped all the unnecessary windows, liner, and hardware off of the cap. I then chopped the majority of the roof section off of the cap. I still need to chop the front bump-up off, just ran out of time. Also the side cuts are not finished; I will trim those to make one straight line. I ran into one snag, as the roof section was doubled and reinforced. I was expecting it to just be a single sheet of fiberglass that I could coax into a gentle curve. I will either have to remove the reinforcement or just use another material for the roof. Anyway, here are some shots of the progress, ignore the dust from the sawzall.
