The next section down had the mount for the convertible top welded and bolted in place. I'm not sure if the 1/8" thick outer plate is original or not; it was brazed on and bolted. The bolt pattern wasn't square and the brazing looks the same as the other areas that were poorly reworked so it looks like it was added later. It did have tan paint and red oxide primer though, so maybe it was original. I'll have to check with someone who knows the cars better.
A little bit of rust in the outer rolled edge. Just a small spot though, glad it wasn't the whole lip.
Top mount cut off and blasted clean.
