looking good. looks like a good coat of paint there. one comment would be.. i've heard that the windshield needs some type of side supports in that configuration. sort of like where side window vents would be....
good job.. bob.. karma for the paint.

we built the sides using ply wood about a inch and a half thick , then we drilled metal frame into the wood for support , then on the top (where the roof attatches) we again had some wood and again 2 metal bars for support , have pics of the reconstruction then we had fiber glasso top 5 coats then blended it all in , then paint , i am hopeing to put glass in the back when i get it all done , i am currently still looking for the bradley gt stickers for the side of the car etc , thanks again for replying it helps to know other people care when you are doing these projects ,,

yeah, i'm referring to the front windshield support. without the t-top, you may need some type of side support for the windshield.... bob

ty i never thought of that i do have pics from start to finish on the back etc if u have a em address id be happy to share, thank you again bob when the winshield and back were broke , again we put in a metal frame around the winshield and when we attatched it to the car we put in a metal frame that bolts onto the bottom of the car frame (goes from one side of the car to the other under the winshield ) kinda under the dash , do u think this might work or should i also put in the t top>

hey steve, i'm really not the expert on this, but i have read similar situations on here about windshield suppport. maybe someone can chime in... you can post pics free at imageshack or photobucket. if that doesnt work, send em to me, i'll scale down (they're huge!) and post here for you lifechanger@comcast.net you can view my progress as well at home.comcast.net/~rthagard/car/go to restoration... big bob |
