Did a little more on this over the weekend. I got a more distant side photo in good light where you can actually see the shell. Did the requisite AST-2 overlay and it looks like the back of my shell is a little low and the front a tad high. I attached the overlay photo.

I removed a bit more material from the front, maybe dropped it 3/8” to ½”-ish. I also cut some more material out around the windows. I was getting it mocked up to make the back part steeper to raise the back up around an inch when I ran out of time. I also found another piece of the original shell that I may be able to adapt into the window to roof transition piece. If all goes well, I hope to get a final mockup done and maybe start the fiberglass patching next weekend.
