Don't make it all one single piece. Make the center your largest piece, then each curve it's own piece. Otherwise, it will be a PITA to get it to fit into the cab, plus it allows you to add better anchor points for the box, and you can hide batteries (like I did) behind the panels.
IM only running one battery.. I have an idea. The center box is close to being painted. Then im going to take some dowels and and make a frame for the curve next to the box, then wrapping that and fiberglassing.

The center is fiberglassed. This stuff is REALLY fun.
