Starting on the capping around the rear part of the cabin. Could someone please post some pics of the details. Trying to sort out how pieces are attached, whether fasteners for go through capping or "under" it, do pieces butt or overlap, does trim piece on inner wheel well go over or under capping etc. Lots of pics in books but hard to sort out the details. Thanks, Mike

I'm looking forward to some photos as well! But to answer some of your questions:
Most of the fasteners (like the LTD posts) go "under" the capping. The hard top fasteners (if you have them) go through the capping.

The capping pieces overlap. (The order they overlap is important, but I forget what it is,offhand.)
The inner trim goes under the capping.
