HARDTOP RESTORATION CONTINUES

 Tim asked that we complete the hardtop by spring so we are "working it in" among the other projects in the shop.
In the photo to the left, you will notice the aluminum frame has been primed and fitted to the hardtop shell just to confirm the "fit".  It was necessary to straighten the frame and actually weld a fracture near the rear mounting bracket.  We have a great fit...all is well.





Two more coats of resin have been applied to the topside of the shell in order to preserve the structural integrity.  With the application of fiberglass cloth and resin to the underside, the top is now ready to block and prime and paint.










Later...
