MORE ABOUT RESTORING CONVERTIBLE TOP HARDWARE

After more than half a century of neglect, the convertible top hardware has been removed and restored.  In the photo to the left you can see the top latch and aluminum seal plate in its original condition.  













 After sanding (to remove scratches and dents) the latches and seal plate were buffed to a high gloss.  

In the photo to the left, you will see a better view of the top latches.  They are awaiting installation on the new top which will be accomplished after the interior work is completed.













The archive listing of this blog contains detailed step-by-step photos and narratives regarding this restoration since it began late last December.  Please direct any comments and questions to tommystoplesscars@yahoo.com.

Stay tuned...
Tom McCurry
