Today we are going to fabricate a roof panel that will be a prototype for the front cab section. These panels are triangular and circular which could be difficult to create. We will use the prototype panel to test how the panels should be rolled, shaped, and applied ✅ The inspiration for this build is the 1930's Diamond T Texaco Doodlebug Tanker Truck. The Texaco Doodlebug (also called the Diamond T Doodlebug) was a futuristic American tanker truck of the 1930s. The vehicles were streamlined and highly aerodynamic. The overall shape, a flattened half-cylinder rounded at the front and tapered at the end, has been described as a "pill" or "breadloaf". The passenger cabin was blended into the body, and there were no fenders, hood, cowl, or running boards. The windshield was compound curved glass, quite advanced for the time. It stood only 6 feet (1.8 m) tall, very short for a tanker truck then or since.
