Hi Mike,

One of the issues as you know is local shops are turning nice jobs & work away, they are in constant demand. So a relatively undefined, ad hoc amount and type of work like this is challenging and not necessarily as attrative for scheduling in place of the next larger project (drivetrain, paint job, restoration, etc.) knocking at the door that better supports the shops operating needs over time. It seems those qualified for such work and reputable, by nature have that scenario at play ongoing, which isn't bad, but doesn't resolve your needs.

I still have your contact info from prior PM's. I'd like to come see it in person and get certain photos. I have another idea with a shop up north that may be able to do some of the time consuming steps in resolving your current welded in windshield situation, at a viable cost. It's a longshot, but may end up working in the situation.

While I'm fairly busy this weekend, I'd like to stop by to take a look. Are you available Sat or Sun? I'm about a half hour from you. We can coordinate something via private message.

By the way, I too just had my EM widshield mounting sorted. I notice in your profile photos you have a center tensioner involved, I don't know your screw length situation, and clearly it seems the frame mounting is off.

I am also about to fit my soft top for the first time. I seem to have limited door hardware for that as well, yet am not sure if the top's frame/construction allows it to somehow work. I'd like to view your top and doors and as I work mine to a final install, I can share my experience as may relate to your setup. My experience/solution development there may help to be able to do yours similarly more efficiently.

Thanks, Brent
