VICTORY!!! She is running again. One of my buddies friends came up and got it running. Apparently there was a loose wire somewhere. Hoping to have the top on by the end of the weekend then it can go back to the body shop and get the hood repainted before trying to get a shipper scheduled. I'll get a new picture posted soon

Tops getting there. I like the way that it breaks it up. I may have to have it replaced again but progress is being made

The colours look great....getting back to the issues with the top....Where are the seams on the "A" pillars ? They should be 2-3 inches down the pillar, but I don't see them in your picture :clueless:

I have not gotten pictures of them glued down but looking at the last pic i posted it looks like they are at the top of the A pillar.

In my opinion....the top needs to come forward at least two inches...that would most likely solve the problem at the back.

I agree. He said he didn't do that because when he lined it up like that it left a gap in the back and sides. I don't think he knew he had to pull and stretch it tight. I'll end up getting another top and getting it done within the next year.

Looks great - nice color! I like how your bumpers are tucked in real close to the body. I think I will do that on mine when I get that far. Looks really sleek!
