Thank you very much for the encouragement and the enjoyment of following along so far.

That little car is unaware that once I get that side window profile dialed in exactly it’s loosing it’s roof also!ha

It was decided to shave the driprail around the roof. Obviously with the construction style of the original roof, once the drip rail is cut off the roof skin will no longer be attached. I’ll actually take advantage of that opportunity to work on fabricating the new side roof rails (that will tie into the factory windshield post and header) without any obstruction from the roof skin. I’ll also be able to build and reshape the roofskin with it off the vehicle also.

So while taking the roof “off” seems like more work, it makes the work I need to do easier and I can do a better job of it as well.
