Here’s mine, the first day I brought it home in 2018 and then stripped down for rust repairs:
2024 And here it is just recently back on the road (finally!):
Can't help with pictures as my hardtop is on right now which hides the snaps unfortunately. I can confirm that the male snap parts on mine measure 3/8" though. I followed the same instructions you have and drilled the holes as advised around the...
Took it out of storage and R. Kelly'd my trucklites just because I like the look. I now get a golden shower of light at night.
Also threw on a set of 1969 plates (all legal like), relocated the rear plate mount and wired up a new light.

We knew it was going to be a lot of work, but it took both of us 12 hours straight to get it done 😲 On top of that I had to kick one of the cars out of the garage to let the ceramic coat cure on the 40.

Just wanted to thank everyone who replied to my post!!!

Manifold gasket, new 60 carb, valve adjustment, less leaks and more miles. I’m sure we’re forgetting something.
James is killing it. And it has AC. He’s come a long way. It drives amazing.
