    boot on car.JPG If you zoom in on the top of the windshield frame you can see its an aluminum or steel mount, the front bow of the top is wood like most convertible tops like this.

    Bill can you get to the wood without the top connected? He might like it better if he could primer and paint it black to match the top.

    I'm sure you can take the wood out and paint it, I believe I remember someone on here that stained the wood for the top.

    Again travelling for business and my son once again stepped up to the plate and got a bunch of wiring done as well as the headers and the bulk of the muffler system setup. B&C is now starting to look like something real!! Will be furthering wiring and other miscellaneous items to completion to keep this moving if our goal to have the engine running come the first couple weeks of March is to be achieved.

    As well FFR came through with the replacement drive shaft, received it yesterday, the original was an inch long and would have fit. Sent them a bunch of photos and they came through once again! Thanks Tony and David at FFR!!!!

    Just going through different pictures and to think I started with a donor engine from a 2013 F150 which was "seasoned" to what we have now is quite amazing.
