Finally hot enuf to install the top an strech it. Question, Does all the body sweat help cause the top to draw up and fit tighter after the install? I have been at it a couple of hours now an came in under the A.C. to replenish fluids. I think I can do better on the next one, but its good enuf for who is for! Just a little help would go a long ways on those things. Monte

I have been putting off the same job on the exact same model for way too long now. I wish we were closer than 800 miles apart so we could do both in half the time!

If anyone is replacing a worn top I would be very interested in purchasing it for the car pictured below. It runs great & is too much fun to restore it. It came this color but it sort of matches my JD tractor.

Hey Cool Hand Lurker, It took a while to get around to doing mine. It wasn`t as bad as I had expected. After I had beaten my fingertips down purty good putin in the carpet tacks and couldn`t feel the tips anymoreI went to the toolbox an got my small trusty needle nose pliers. That helped consideratly. I did however wish that I still had two eyes. Some things are a challenge like driving a nail. One more hand would have came in handy also, but I still have two of those. Monte
