Got two ribs put in at the front of the horn. At the front the sides will slant slightly like you can see, just trying to keep the basic contour of the car and make the opening as large as possible.

Still a bit shotty on even'ness but its getting there...more tomorrow, the bottom hump should be done and the back piece mounted and reinforced/glassed from behind if weathers nice...

And the side pieces arent lined up with the vertical pieces because im going to glass over to the pillar pretty drastically and that will fill the gap in :)
