Thanks, Bruce. Too kind. Sammitron, missed you among others this year at MCACN.

Spent some time today seeing if my idea of using a donor convertible top would work and surprisingly, it does......sorta. It falls a little short on the header panel but the width is about as perfect as I could ask for.

I used a piece of sheet metal to extend the header panel just to see how it'll line up. Obviously, more work needed (ya think?) but I'm liking the preliminary vision.

The car has a functioning top now! It's all falling into place....Mwwaaahahaha!!

I don't know what that actually means, but it sounded good at the time

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Cheers
Dave
