Soft top

So after seeing how this guy set his soft top up with the carcass of an old hardtop I've decided to try to do something similiar.

I picked up the old hard top from the farm yesterday and started cutting. I got a little fiberglass reinforcement to do as some of the bonding has broke loose on the right side upright. More pics as I go.

And this is where I left off yesterday. I need to also do some fiberglass work around the center hole as it was cracked all the way to. You can see how it sags a bit in the middle. It may not affect it once it is mounted to the Bronco.

I subscribe to it now but not when that issue came out. I think it was 2 issues ago but am not certain.
