HARDTOP RESTORATION BEGINS

Tim purchased an original hardtop at the Hilton Head car show.  It has lead a rough life so it needs to be restored.  Of course it needs to be painted, the aluminum trim needs to be straightened and polished and it has no headliner at all.  I have my work cut out for me.
So today, John began work on the fiberglass top and I began to assess the condition of the frame and fasteners.  It appears that there are a few pieces missing.  The good news; Moss Motors has all the parts we need.
Photos will follow tomorrow.

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...
