Cut a strip with the angle cut along one side. Then, take that strip and cut off all the little pieces (nacelles). If you can imagine stretching a nacelle from the top and bottom (as when it's installed on the cab) to make it longer, that is what I mean.

I cut a 1/2" strip of 1/2" BB and then cut the angles with a back saw and a $5 plastic miter box from Walmart. I still have all my fingers.
