I'm the same way. Work just fascinates me, I can watch people do it for hours.

This is when it get's more exciting, seeing it all come together. Looking forward to the finished product. Keep those pics coming.

We placed the hump on to get the full effect of the body shape, it was left in primer so that Marc could build up the whole roof/hump/mechanism assembly for test fitting without risk of damaging the paint. The end result is that we could finally begin to see how good #3 is going to look when it is together:

smug

Exhibiting or feeling great or offensive satisfaction with oneself or with one's situation; self-righteously complacent:
"the smug look of a toad breakfasting on fat marsh flies" (William Pearson).

Colin was a bit faster than me with posting pics about the fitted clamshell, but anyway, here's my photos:

remark: the clamshell is only primed due not to scratch the final paint during the installation and set-up of the roof
