hooray!!! awesome to see it move under its own power!

 

so finally .. I believe this is the LAST thing I have to "fabricate"

the canopy ..







as you can see it's in really bad shape .. it's fixable , but for the time I would spend fixing it (and it has been done at least once before) I figure I might as well make a new one , with NEW and ADVANCED products .










.

 

so do u already have a mold to make the new canopy?

 

I would say a new one with more advanced stuff

 

No.. I'm going to make a NEW mould



.

 

little bit more today ..

got the rear seatbelts installed , also finished the install of the GPS , finished wiring the rear camera and the rear lower seat locks .. also the roll bar is now installed ..
I was working on the jack and tools install , but was interupted , and had to take it for a little ride again around the compound ..

talked to the interior guy and the seats are in the works


.

 

some progress , notice no more sag on the roof ..

sanded , and very first primer .. good from far !! lots of work yet to do to make it right ..







.

 

looking good man , keep it up

 

is that the orginal top? or is that the new one u made?

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

i thought so, but i wasnt sure if he had to fix up the old one first to be able to make the new mold..i dont know what all goes into makeing a copy of something..thats y i asked..

 

yeah .. so far that is the original top .. lots of bodywork so far and this is what I have .. looks much better in the pics , as it still need lots of work before I can build a NEW fiberglass mold

but it's coming .....



.

 

continuing on with the roof ...

My boy and I blocked out the second primer



filled ,sanded and primed now for the 3rd time ..



it's finally time to wet block







.

 

so out and about today .. I was driving buy my interior guys place , and I thought I would stop in to see if any progress on the seats ..

yes ..



a little sample of the NEW seats ..




.

 

I picked up some plastic "dip" from a local supplier on Monday .. looking at doing the battery hold down in some what of a factory finish .. + I just wanted to try it

I took the J bolt and sand blasted it and dipped it ..
turnd out well ..





also .. got the roof wet sanded .. almost ready to go








.

 

little bit more work on the roof today .. but I mostly concentrated on the seat tracks ..

got them all cleaned up , (wow , lots of work) and painted ..



and dropped them off at the uhpolstery shop .. and wow .. the front bottoms are done I love em !!




.

 

some nice work your doing there. that interior is sweeet!

 

Those are some nice seats. Man hurry up and finish thing already.

 

I love that attention to detail. cleaning and painting a set of seat tracks like that is truly one of the crappiest jobs ever

 

thanks

I dare ya ... you try it

one of the worst pieces I did , they suck .. took almost all day ..
