Notes:

Note that the left and right long skinny window is wrapped around to the end of the car, leaving 8 and 11 windows on the sides.

The photos show both sides of the car.

Bob Hogan's construction photos. He used a Dremel rotary tool with a cutting disk and sander bits, and honed the shape with files.

The donor body is all prepped now.

The Union Station Products sides have been attached.
