Somethings fishy about that van roof bed cover. I've been studying this idea for years and Im actually about ready to make one finally. The lines on yours are too far apart. The spacing doesnt match stock. A real Econo van roof only has 2 lines on each side and the horse shoe recess in the center. If the horse shoe wasnt there and there were evenly spaced lines instead there would be 8 or 9 lines across the roof. That said,any idea how that one was made? A stock roof isnt as wide as the bed rails are by about 2 inches or so. Im not trying to nit pick,just trying to gather any info I can before I start on mine.
