Hey All! This is my first resto project, and I'm sort of an amateur... so this roof cap is really testing my skills.
I was wondering who else has done this with the Cool Cruisers of Texas rain gutters and the Classic Cruisers LLC reproduction roof cap. I'm almost finished with the metalwork on the main 7 pieces of the CCOT drip rail. I attached some pics for reference. I guess my next steps are to remove the metal, lay it upside down on the fiberglass cap, then weld on the front 2 pieces which overhang the windshield, then primer the metal and reinstall onto the forty to rivet the fiberglass on.
I'm posting because I haven't found many people who used these parts to build a new top, it seems like everyone just patches their old one. But mine was beyond repair so I had no choice. The main thing I am not sure about is the front piece which bolts onto the windshield frame. (here's a link for reference) How does this piece attach to the fiberglass cap? And how should I fit it?
All advice is very appreciated!! Please follow the thread if you've done this and you don't mind answering questions if any come up. And please share pictures of your project! That would be so valuable to someone trying to do this on their own.
Thank you God bless
