That was my Thomy Shuu flavor... Snack-a-rama, crack-a-rama... You get it. I'm not worried about it. I need to repaint a handful of spots at some point. Right now, I'm in assembly mode. Will address my stupidity later in life.

They had the plastic from 58 to 69. They last 4 years they had the glass. A lot of guys go with the plastic on the restorations of late models to save the headache... Plus the glass is expensive to replace if it breaks.

Keep your fingers crossed. I need to put another day or two into the top, then it's carpet and seats. After that, trim and details. It's close.

Sux that the bodywork cracked. You going to try to do a spot repair on it, or you still thinking about an overall respray?

Hot towel trick worked, I am surprised but never doubt any advice from Darrin. Too bad about the crack.

It looks like you just about have that car finished. The interior will probably go pretty fast.

I think you are right Milo. I will give it plenty of time to s-t-r-e-t-c-h!!! Apparently the gov't has started allowing non-factory materials to be used on tops, so you should be clear to have a canvas top installed on your little buggie!!!

Congratulations on the top it looks good from what we could see on this video. Is your tree really still up in the living room? That reminds me of my childhood when we begged our Mother to let us keep it up....

You gotta give it up to them for taking the old top back since they didn't use the correct pattern. I get that everyone makes a mistake but it's the good shops that make them right in the end!!

There is a headliner, then a layer of 1-1/2" foam. I suspect you could call that insulation. I don't know the R value of upholstery foam. It's better than a typical "rag top" for sure.

We were taking the tree down when the post lady rang the doorbell. I'd prefer to just shove the thing in the closet and drag it out at thanksgiving next year. The top looks incredible.

HAHA!! The tree was getting packed up when we made the vid. It went up late, so we left it a bit longer than usual. Good to hear TMI does good work. The top is excellent.
