It took about 30 minutes to cut the top off and about 3 hours scraping and prepping the gutters. Figured it was a good time to address them as they were now easily accessible. Glad we did as there was some moisture under the old sealant. Will now apply a rust arrestor and new sealant.
Having the troopy with out the roof , is a wild sensation .
Wish you a nice and good build .
Once finished you will really enjoy it.

Here are a few more random shots from the weekend.
The gutter work can apply for all. If you haven't done this it's not a bad project and could sure save you a bigger headache down the road with that certain word that will not be mentioned. We used rustoleum to paint the cut edge of the roof. Also painted down a 1/2" or so on the side that will be covered by the pop top. Hopefully cheap insurance. Rust Mort to address a couple of spots. And the tube of new sealer.
I have a perfectly good Troopy roof if anyone has interest. Maybe a toboggan if you live up north?
I should have more pics later this week as the top goes on.
Fun project.

Jonathan with Benchmark Vehicles of Portland laying down the bead. I was surprised when Jonathan told me that he took a cake decorating class. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
You can see his skills. The top bead is by Josh of Willamette Blvd Auto. Fail! Josh is a great mechanic of all things Land Cruisers but he knows his limitations and quickly passed the gun.
