UPDATE # 3
UPDATE # 2
So a few pictures of the build/rebuild
So heres the Rebuild first:
Got the old support out and straightened the right side (still some minor tweeks to do), still have to weld it in - but just for fun I put the front end back on to see how things line up.





And the Build Part:
Removed the head liner and had to drop the seatbelts to get the roof supports out. Laied out the the measurements and taked them on to draw my lines (forgot to take a picture). Started cutting it out but it got late so I stopped.





And I also made up some new guage patterns - I installed the first one, the second was my first pattern - I have about 10 different designs now - but I need a new ink cartrage

i like those gauge clusters!!! you should try and make some for the tach clusters

[scitzz]

I might try my hand at some new gauge designs....

[lost_festiva]

why are you cutting the roof out? putting a rag top on? the car i'm getting has bad roof and probably needs replaced. I think it's going to be too much to straighten out. crazy gauges too!

[SIBladerunner]

Those are really cool. Wish I had the printer that could do that. You willing to make any copies, I might want to buy one.

installing the funtop I imported from Germany - if you notice theres a layer of slicone on the roof on the right rear to keep a couple of paint chunks down and to seal the cracks from getting water behind them.

I have design for one but I dont have a tach cluster to install it on to check if everything lines up.

yeah I thought about it but need new ink cartrages first

i think i have a spare junk one that i could donate to you for the cause, just pay shipping

[muscle_Car1]

do you just need a face plate for the tach cluster cause I have a few of them lying around.

Yeah just the faceplates - I scan them in and make a template.

The funtops are really neat. I still wish my wife would have picked the Sport instead of Red Car when she had the chance. Of all things, she worried the kids would get sunburned!
