No estimate yet because you just never know what is going to happen! But If I could get it fitting right, and start the bonding process before the weekend that would be great! That way the metal bond can cure all weekend long!

She's not flexing at all...I am not sure if I am going to be home this weekend. That's why I am hoping that I can get this all trimmed and fitting correctly before the weekend...but well see.

I might just cancel my weekend engagement and just continue working on the car if I have to. You are more then welcome to stop by anytime homie!

So some more progress has been made this morning! So as you know yesterday we cut the roof, well this morning it's been all about fitment! You have to cut the top of the rear brace off because it sits to high for the glasstop!

Once you do that you have to go around and start grinding, and trimming down metal on both the glasstop and whats left of your top so everything can fit nice and snug!

Here is a shot of the front of the glasstop overlapping the front of the old roof! Once it gets clamp down and sealed into place you won't even be able to tell, I believe the roof will rise an unnoticeable 1/32" of an inch.



So I figured I would start from the front and work my way back as far as fitment went but I quickly found that it was much harder that way, so I moved my attention to the sides, and the rear figuring that everything would fall into place once I had that settled in.







And sure enough it pretty much did...the front will fall right into place with a little massage!



We are getting closer and closer to final results!!



Remember if you guys have any questions please feel free to ask!!! I will try to answer them to the best of my knowledge!!
