At this time, I don’t plan on making side curtains (or windows). The top I am planning is pretty much for keeping me out of sun (doctors orders). If I do decide to make side windows, your plan looks good.How heavy is your top? I am hoping to be able to make it light enough that I can take…[Read more]

I haven’t started on my top yet….still collecting ideas. I think using the vinyl top material hanging over the outside edge and utilizing the convertible top snaps is a great idea….I was wondering how to fasten the back of the top to the body and I think you nailed it. As far as finishing the inside, I plan…[Read more]

That means mine has quadrupled in value and then some. I wish mine got 45-50 mpg. I’m a little leery of the title being held by the Police Department, though. Things that make me go hmmmmmmm.

That should be enough. By the way, why not just put yourself out of your misery and sell me your top. Seems it would be easier to fix yours than for me to make a new one. I’m just sayin”.

The nice thing about changing the chip is that you can change it back to stock in a minute or so.

When I rebuilt the shifter I added an adjustable fitting to the shift rod where it attaches to the coupler in the rear. I might try tweaking that a bit as well.

According to the chassis number (117592986) it is a 1967. The title says it’s a 1982 Assembled Vehicle, so I am guessing that the body number (822293-3) will…[Read more]
