Still gotta finish the top side and fill the rest of the crack. Might have to use some bondo to even out the dip where 2 tops meet.
Tiger hair has fiberglass resin and would stronger....just a thought

I like 2 as well
Option 2 looks good- finding someone to drill holes in the glass might be a challenge?

Assuming you can get the glass made for the rear to open in option 2 I like that as well.
I vote 1.

1 will definitely be easier to do,
I have drooled over both of those. The walk around on the grey one at SEMA is worth the watch on their You Tube channel.

Moved on to passenger side. This side is even more rusty, slowly moving forward!
