Today we found that Elwood (the 70 914-6) has a late top on him. That is the reason the seals don't fit to the windows correctly. So I got up in the attic and found I have 3 early tops and one late top up there.
I checked Igor (73 with the 4.0L engine) and it has a very nice early top on it. But it is painted red to match the car . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) So we carefully examined the 3 early tops from the attic, and picked the best one. It has some minor cracks in the fiberglass, but the corners are not broken off. So we stripped it, cleaned it up, and lightly sanded it. We have primer-filler on it to start on filling the blemishes. What color is correct? Satin black seems to be the closest I can find. I am thinking of using the primer-filler to build up the top a little, and not sand it to reproduce the texture that came from the factory. Unless someone on here has a better idea? Clay |
