There is a guy in Panama running a home made soft top. Can't remember his name. It's a definite
tropical option.

Ya he’s going to show me how to patch weld it up. Lol everyone’s suggested it just needed another nudge I guess. Good news is the truck is all sealed up so at this point is preventative/ aesthetic welding. Though, the rain gutters I attempted to saw off are fairly rigid lol so I’ll hopefully be getting a mig welder here soon and slowly tackle it. In the meantime, I’m continuing the interior and doing some custom seat coversOh, you know Steve! In that case, do whatever he suggests. If he says it's repairable, then it's repairable.

Dont use por15. Lots of reports of rust coming through. It isnt a rust converter.
Exactly....i think POR-15 works well but people just don’t understand the prep work involved for it. you still have to clean the area and remove all the loose rust. It needs a pretty clean surface. But peopleseem to interpret it as if you just paint it over the rust and it magically heals.
but it’s also important to note that POR15 needs a top coat as the sun will damage it.
I made the same mistake with mine. Never again will I weld near insulation - it's just cotton scraps.Welding and real repairs a can be lot easier without headliner in, so just something to be aware of down the line..I set fire to my headliner welding in a new roof patch

You could cut off the roof and install a pop top.
