Hey all. I've had a tough time trying to find anything about roof panels for the roof of the cab area of commercial buses. The few people I discussed this with didn't know either so I went ahead and whipped up a set.

I already have the Clara roof panels in the cargo area so I continued with that style. The roof peak panel was the trickiest to make as its a compound curve. I used door panel stock for that piece as it conforms nicely to the bends. I used the same material for the more rectangular piece as well but in hindsight I think the material Clara uses is a stiffer and follows the roof profile a bit better.

Anyways, herexs what I came up with. If there are pics of OG panels please post them.
