Final fit before the bows head off to the powder coater.
Shout out to @Julie2006 at Anchor Stitch for another fine product. Highly recommended if youāre looking for a Soft Top.

Picked up these early lower door shells from Marks Offroad. Love the pin striping on the one. These are the beginnings to my half doors.
Took a bunch of stuff to the powder coater. (Soft Top hardware, cooler basket and Quik hinges).
They tell me it should be an 8 day turnaround. Hopefully nothing gets lost.

Parts are back from the powder coater. Everything turned out better than expected and nothing was lost.
Cooler Basket is bolted back on along with my license plate and a new sweet little 8ā led light that fit perfectly in between the basket supports. I still need to wire up the plate lights.

That looks great!
A bottle opener on the bumper, yep you're a sailor.

Painted a bunch of small parts. What a pain in the butt! All the little stuff takes so much time.

Nothing like OEM parts.
Fitting the hood and fenders took a lot longer than expected. Getting the gaps and everything aligned was a real pain. Finally, I can move on.

Installed mirrors, bezel and the rest of the hood hardware. Found some time to take her out for a spin.
Someday Iāll get around to fixing the cruiser lean. I have a sweet rear full floater axle waiting to be installed.

Here is a small project that I had the opportunity to be the guinea pig on. After painting and test fitting my Quik Hinges from @69LC , I wanted a clean way to seal the gaps between the body and the hinges. Luckily, I had been in talks with @82FJ40EVV over some turn signal base gaskets that he makes with his 3D printer. I mentioned to him how I was looking for a solution for my hinges and he was happy to take on this project.
Ryan is an awesome guy and a true perfectionist. His parts fit perfect!
If you own a set of Quik Hinges and want a clean look, I suggest you contact @82FJ40EVV.
His parts fit so good, only a small dab of black RTV here and there is all that is needed to hold them on.
