510 convertible anyone??? hahaha

 

Im meeting up with kmc63 hopefully this eveing to check out his fiberglass panels, my dad has a lot of experience with fiber glass (building boats all his life) so installing one shouldn't be to bad. 425 id definitely not bad for a new one, but with the budget, and time it would take to get one here....

 

Jrock, I haven't ordered them quite yet, there making it a hassle to get me a staggered set, ill post pictures of the wheels im looking at though.

In the topic of ragtops. You should check out Greengoon's thread. He did it to his goon. Pretty solid setup and looks good.

I think that I like the idea of a sliding ragtop... more then I would actually enjoy one on my car haha its a cool concept, never actually seen one in person! james actually had one he mentioned when we talking back and forth about the car.

 

Sooooooo... What is the paint scheme idea? Are you going to replicate the one that got hit? I loved that car.

 

right now the plan is solid baby blue, slightly different shade then the old one... I thought about the stripes, and decided the car would be a lot cleaner without them, and if I wanted to add them down the road, I would have a paint shop lay them out over me doing them.

 

 

 

 

First test fit of the replacement roof

Nice job - once I get the trunk/rear panel on my car finished I will be replacing my roof skin also.  I have been putting the roof off while I got my floors all finished up.

 

Are you going to just spot weld the roof skin in the drip rail channels?  That is the part I am most worried about with the swap.

 yup that's the plan! im grinding/drilling all the spot welds, and am going to just weld it back in. If I didn't have other stuff going on, I would say I could have done this in one solid day. I would have it in tomorrow but am going to supercross. So im hoping to have it fitted and welded up sunday.

 

only have 2 weeks and 2 days to get it painted! (that's the goal I set if it has any chance of being done by june 9th)
