A little more progress, figured I would update. I got the rest of the camper shell trimmed to size. I put the shell on the truck and traced a cut line, following the contour of the existing slope of the roof. You can tell from the photo I need to do some sanding. I got a new side photo of the truck from a distance, and did the requisite AST-2 overlay.

After much study, I believe I have decided to make a cardboard form in the shape that I want for the roof, and then layer fiberglass over the form, to make the cap one solid fiberglass piece when I am completed. This is a little more difficult than I really wanted, but the easier/simpler ideas aren’t turning out as I had hoped.
