Gran Finishes Cardboard Roof
Work continued today on what Granulite has considered the hardest part of the Turismo. The roof was hard to style as well as hard to construct, requiring a tough balancing act.
When Gran was making the roof, they had an idea to make the car more stylish; slanting the side structures of the roof. This will have an immediate impact on the diagonal side-panelling, but Gran thinks it can handle to transition.
Worth noting is the continued emphasis Gran has put on dexterity in this car. The first shot shows the bottom of the hood reinforced with 2 horizontal mesh-sticks, and then a vertical meshstick meeting the center of the front v-structure. Also, the roof is constructed with 2 vertical mesh-sticks and 3 horizontal, to help strengthen the weakest part of any car. The center of the back of the roof is also attached down on to the meshbase with a mesh-stick.
Construction continues today; expect an update once the cardboard construction is finished.
