Oh I know that, but there are a lot of measurements to take there, and the inner corners on those bevels just add to the work I'd assume.  Would you do those in four pieces and join them or just bevel out a single piece and chisel out the corners?

If your talking about the bevels on the inner cutouts on the canopy beam, i'd make a single router template for the outside and the inside knockouts.  Pick out a decent taper for the insides and use a guide bushing, use a flush trimming bit for the outsides.  Calculate the offset for the inside edge and let the beveled bit do the work.  smooth out the sharp corners with a chisel and rubber mallet.

I'm talking about on the sides of the cab, where the sideart is.  The raised panels, or maybe overlaid panels, that are black.

I've zoomed in on a few of the photos i have and i dont see a raised panel or overlay there.  I think i saw someone mention that the edges of those are beveled also though.  That could be  a neat trick to duplicate.

I think he means these bits.

Yep, that would be it.
