Roundeyes

swapped out headlamps for Roundeyes. Let you know how well they work when it gets dark. Bezel and hard top are being painted.

Wow, just came across your build for the first time. Amazing work, man! I love that color scheme. Congrats on a fantastic transformation. I think you need to post up a few more poser shots with the doors and hard top on.

Hard Top

Started getting the hard top back together before it gets too cold.
For some reason the holes didn't line up on the side panels.
So we had to use a dye grinder to makes the bolt holes match up.
The top was from an other cruiser but I just assumed the side panels were all the same.
The weather stripping for the upper tub was after market from SOR.
Looked just like OEM. The lower W/S was OEM.

Fiberglass

The W/S for the top was from CCOT. I couldn't afford the OEM for $300!
But probably well worth the $$ as this was a a real pain.

Lift Gate

Put the lock on the lift gate and it busted, cheap OEM.
Also I'm missing the upper corner brackets. Don't think they got painted, don't know if I ever had them.
