Yikes, didn't realize or see someone cut a sunroof hole in the hardtop. For me, that would be some welding and a lot of grinding.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) indeed. Welding is done. Smoothing out all the waves that follow is the hard part.

Sunroof elimination is complete. Not perfect, but you'd need to be at least 7 feet tall to see it, so it's good enough. Other more obvious dent repairs are proceeding, and my skill set is a better match for them. Also finished off the dash with a retro-look radio.

Does your dashpad interfere with opening the wing windows? Ours does with the door closed, can only open them 10% at best. Best also ensure they are not 15%+ open when the door is closed either!

No interference at all, vents have full range of motion. Does your dash pad maybe have an ABS cap on it?

It's a WH pad from 2010, no cap or anything. Wonder if it's just thicker? I'll see if I can post a picture.

Not to hijack the thread, but here's a picture. I'll post on Classic Bronco forum, see what the masses have to say about it.

Yesterday I finished the bodywork. It's not perfect, but perfection is not and was not the goal. It just needs to be good enough. I've taken it as far as I can with my skills and tools. Time to start shopping for a painter.
