thank you
what's there is a template - the house will be built from penske board - it will support the top i'm fabricating...
the console is currently being modified - the console,being a part made from a mold - it has a "negative draft",meaning,it tapers - width changes,from the bottom,to the top - the console's being modified,to eliminate this - ,this avoids the house sides tapering in,it also will assure the console and the house sides are bonded properly - eliminates stress cracking...the original "flange" is also removed,and a suitable mounting area will be fabricated...my hard top mold,it's cambered,also has a molded in radar mount area...
the windows,i cut them square - reason being i want sliding windows -

mounting/sealing windows,with the seals,like the one's in your picture,these are prone to leaking - not a good thing,especially with a wood core...
the console will be "faired" into the house sides - basically a one piece unit...upon completion,it will be sprayed in awlgrip...
the house you constructed,wood,yes ?
atached to the console ?
