Looking good Pedro. What is the roof based on?

Agreed, it does look good. It looks like a T-1 Ghia vert top frame.

Yes, from a '69 1/2 or later that has the glass fold-in rear window. That style has the fold-down fastening hook at each outer end of the windshield header like this one. Pedro will probably need to widen the top frame a few inches to account for the wider roof on his Type 34.

Seems that rust is still keeping you busy, while waiting on parts to arrive. I remember having to repair that/those same sections on my 64 T-34.

A great Milestone to achieve Pedro. The uniformity of the primer really shows progress and helps drive you forward. Excellent work Sir!

Details like cutting the door handle into the side sculpting line, rather than the simple, flat treatment on the "regular" Type 3 shows the difference between Italian and German views of design and style.
