I would like to thank Juan for his excellent reporting on the factory tour. I've seen things in this thread that I missed on the tour. I guess I was just overwhelmed by the whole experience.
I do want to clarify the purpose of one of the many jigs in the factory. This photo that appeared earlier in the thread as part of the soft top pin layout is actually used for getting the stripes lined up on hard tops. The aluminum brackets on the front and back have notches that the masking tape is laid into to ensure the stripes on the hard top will line up with the stripes on the body.
