| the track will actually be recessed into the top edge of the door. I'll just slice off the 1/8" balsa strip that runs along there now and replace it with the 1/8" box track - slightly proud above the edge opf the door - so it looks like a skinnier rail. it should look 'scale' when completed. |

| I have a method to achieve a sliding canopy. This plastic box extrusion has been sliced along the 'top' edge and that cut has been widened to accept the canopy edge. The canopy has been cut leaving just the slightest overhang along the edge - maybe 1/32" - this is enough to capture the canopy's long edge inside the now slotted box track. Bingo |
