That looks great! The only mods I added were the boxes and connectors. It is gonna be a street car so I hope those upgrades keep me happy!

Here they are doing some paintless dent repair before it's painted. I thought all the metal work was awesome so it should fly right through body and paint. I was wrong... They body-worked this thing to death!

That should mean you'll have great results. Those little picky details are what make for a good paint job!

More green. The light reflections look pretty damn straight!
I wonder if those are the ones Resto Rick is selling. They are definitely not US Cartool. Rick's are supposed to be exact copies of the originals. I've never used them because I couldn't get over the price. They do look nice.

These are the last shots I got from them. So, now I can stop showing pics of what other people have done and get down to the stuff I've got accomplished! Another night, though. That's enough computer time for me!

The tree suffered the worst fate. Everyone was ok. I ran my side into the armrest and that hurt for a while but we were lucky!

So, I'm half done with a few things. Namely, the front suspension and the window regulators. Also, I've been polishing trim. Here is one thing I did get done. The vinyl top is on!!

My weapon of choice. Four cans of this stuff got the job done. I ordered the top directly from Legendary. I'm sure that was a good choice as they said they would start sewing it up and have it out to me in about a month. I unboxed it right away and laid it out to avid wrinkles.

It actually laid out pretty flat right away! Now for the install... I folded it in half and matched up the seams and marked the center then chalk-lined it. Easy enough. Finding the center of the roof was a bit more difficult. Using the drip rail as a point of measurement is about the only thing you can go off. The front center wasn't to bad to find but the rear center was a bit of a challenge. But, I did my best and made a mark then chalk-lined the roof. Everything got scuffed with sandpaper. I had a couple friends over to help 'cause I did not want to screw this up!! Glued about 4" in the center, vinyl and car. That tacked up a bit then we went for it! This whole process is more nerve wracking than difficult. Glued out to the seam next then the rest. It came out great!! What a relief! Above the quarter-window on both sides wanted to bubble up. I think that was the only problem area.

Just to warn you the gel contact adhesive works way better.

Best of luck you are in a different climate. Did that on the dash it worked ok seems opened up a few months later best of luck to you.
Top looks great - well done!
I like the black top against the Limelight paint; it provides nice contrast.

I don't think this top is going anywhere. It is stuck!
