more work done over the weekend while i  was:working: i looked closer at the top and the pics from grasshopers rebuild post lead me to  that some one has been under the top. its off set to the outer edge not good. so off it came, and not sure how to head from here.  best bet is to pull windows, but i have never done one any hints out thier.

Wow. You are doing good work. I love the blue interior

Wat was the original color? It looks like Gun Metal Grey under the top.

What I would do:

1) Remove the trim - carefully, I had the tool

2) Pull the glass front and back

   - You can do this (I did it my first time), but make sure you take your time and are paying close attention.  I first took a putty scrapper and scrapper along the weather stripping to get as much off as possible.  You don't have to apply any pressure, just make sure the edge of the scrapper is sharp.  After you remove what you can, I examined the windshield and found a spot where I could feed my wire (I used a cheese wire cutter) through and then tied it to a handle.  Slowly worked my way around.

frist thanks for the coment on the blue inter . as for the top it looks more like a baby bule but some one has been under the top before, the rear piler has been redone and they filled it full it is clear out to the body line. going to have to fix that.

 :swear:after the fun time of removing the winsheild and back window. did not see any point in not puting a coat of paint on it. of course i would not do just that it is all going to bear it all after the two hours of sanding and find the car should have  :wave:on the way by. but it is all for its own good. so here are the lates. and if you have a hard time with nakedness on here you better not look.
