Thread: Soft top switch out - Saturday

  1. #1

    Default Soft top switch out - Saturday

    MOVED TO SUNDAY!!

    Nails & Trickrix are going to take off and put on a new soft top for me...also going to install a style bar. Anyone interested in helping and/or watching is welcome to come out. I believe they agreed on 11ish? They'll post if I am wrong. I guess you may refer to this as a -

    Shiny bar and retopping tech time?
    Ahhh - tech day bondage...I mean bonding.

    There will be refreshments of some sort...after all it'll be 5 o'clock SOMEWHERE!

    Email mcadventures at gmail dot com for address (not comfortable posting it on a public forum).

    I'll try to come but I think I will be puppy sitting until about 4pm, so maybe I could make it in time to drink any left over beer and then take Rick's car out to test his Tein Flex.

    That sounds good doesn't it Rick?

    I'm thinking of switching this to Sunday due to weather conditions.

    Thanks for all your help! Trickyrix, Creek, Cone-cerned, and Juano Tejano showed up today for the top and style bar installation. Went pretty smooth till we got to the style bar which needed quite a bit of filing to fit and lotsa plastic trimming to make it look nice. I believe the bar took longer than the top. Thanks also to Carazzie for feeding us a big lunch of pizza, chicken fettucini, and wings from Pizza Hut!

    Yes Yes!!! Thanks so much!! As you could see, it was past time for a new top! This top looks great, fits great, and I couldn't be more thankful to you guys for doing such a great job putting it on, and of course the style bar! It's a relief to know that when the rains come I don't have to worry about the interior of my car being ruined from a leaky top!

    THANK YOU !!!!

    No problem, I know I didn't get a chance to do a whole lot because of all the people, and rick being so good at fitting into small places, but I thought you should know that somehow I got a blister, so now I feel better about me earning my lunch.
