Will this have the Stock parts??

If so, I might want one.

(Though I still have not finished the original issue stock of this kit!!)

Looks like the end panel of the box says "Stock, Custom or Drag", Looks Promising!

You would probably be best off doing it in sections, trying to foil the roof with one large piece would be practically impossible. I would do the center section, then add the left and right sides... you might have to go with several smallish pieces at the rear corners. Cut the pieces so that the joint lines run straight front to back. The texture from the steel wool would tend to hide the joint lines between the foil pieces.

 

It's not a perfect solution (is there one?)... but I think it gives the closest look to a "brushed" stainless steel top.

I'm not sure who made it, but several years ago at NNL East I bought a small sheet of something similier to BMF that had a brushed finished to it.  It was a little thicker than BMF but still worked well, not sure how would look on a roof though.
