More progress today. My machinist buddy delivered the pieces that will attach the top to the car using my existing Rod Top anchor points just behind the doors. All that’s left is to radius and polish them. I’ll forgo mounting them to the top until after I settle on the gasket choice. The top had a press on one that attached to the lip at the base of the top, but it’s pretty thick rubber and all my butchery of the top has left the lip inconsistent. I’m leaning toward some kind of bulb seal glued to the lip. Hardtop guys please chime in with any thoughts.
I then started on the removal of the monster hump.
It wanted to sag a bit in the middle, so I screwed a section of angle to keep it in place.
I thought using the cut out prices to fill in, but I’ve abandoned that and will just glass it in. I screwed some wire over the opening to copy the curve, hope this works, we’ll see.
