Album: IAIS 303 - GP9

Closeup of modified roof details. The antenna conduit was cut shorter, and the whip-style antenna was replaced with a new Sinclair, which was mounted overhanging the front edge of the cab so the wiring to the remaining portion of the conduit wouldn't have to be routed through the cab roof. Also, a toilet vent was added to the side of the short hood. I believe the prototype's weld seam on the cab roof appeared after the short hood was replaced, early in her IAIS career. And yes, the prototype's horn and grab iron are mounted backward. :-)
