Those will be cool projects. Just follow the procedure I just documented. It'll be much cheaper

Well, the top is all lined up and tacked now. I'll post more pics today. I like the freedom you have to shape the panels when they are not touching each other, which influences their shape.

I've seen it done actually. There is room on a Burb apparently, but not on this. My wheel wells took up any space for that.

Thanks. I hope they do! I honestly think this is the first done this way. Unless someone has pics to prove otherwise

And what the heck do you mean about the 4th door and knowing your limits! Although your method is almost what has been done in my head over the last year (minus the 4th door) you pulled it off before me and my hats off to ya!

Ya, I love the build, but the finish work can be tedious
It'll take some time for sure.
I have no doubts I could pull off the 4th door. Just not in the timeline I had available to get this thing back on the road. Maybe a future upgrade
