Working on the 74.....

[Roadster]

Today's progress, heater box installed and also lifted the original top on the car. Most of its life has been under the deck lid. Not in bad shape for being original. Some spots need attention and there is on hole that needs to be patched, which may be possible. Back window is very near perfect, especially for the age.
Also made some adjustments on the rear deck lid. Since the top has shrunk over the years, it needs to be stretched out. But everytime we got the top connected, the RR deck lid would pop up and sometimes the LR too. So we determined that the RR mechanism needed adjustment. Had to add two washers to the locking bracket to bring it out to make a good tight secure connection. Problem solved, as now the top is fully attached and the deck lid is in place with no movement at all.

you can see the deck lid on the LS raised...
