Thanks AD, we "castle cut" (I just made that term up ) the cab on both sides and used a stepping tool to indent the "teeth". Scott's experience is showing through there. We thought it was a great way to line up/reinforce the new panel...especially when working with the curved profile.

(A LITTLE part of me would like to see it Tonka truck hard gold/yellow) but itd probably look better long term in another color.
Well, at the moment we are thinking a light metallic silver
