[TWOOD]

OK,...I'm getting the picture.
Here's what I guessing I would need to do.
The 6 holes, for the ferrules, were already drilled into the doors and body (from CRII) when I received it.
My top, and ferrules, are 2 years on back order (and no immediate hope of getting it soon, considering the legal situation in which Don Scott is currently struggling).

If I can obtain SS tubing I can fabricate and install the ferrules per DV's instructions. Then I can proceed with getting the car painted.
I would then have to deal with accurate placement and installation of the lift-a-dots as best I can, when I receive the soft top.
What do you think, anybody? DV? Better idea, anyone?
