Dave, that’s one beautiful two tone paint job. Car looks factory new.
Here is the latest progress on my restoration: 1st picture shows the passenger side door brace installed. With the doors closed, and door gaps adjusted with a wood wedge, along with the top in place, I took a measurement from the top rear side of the door jamb to a fixed point on the windshield (a joint in the windshield trim). I used a length of 3/4" pipe, along with a coupling, to wedge across the door opening. You can see this in picture 2. I cranked on the coupling until I achieved my predetermined fixed measurement, and then installed the 2" x 2" horizontal brace along with the 45 degree brace. The entire set up is bolted on, no welding necessary. The plan is to operate the top with the doors off and both sets of braces in place, to verify that the windshield screws line up as they should. This way I can eventually take the roof off and continue on the restoration. I will need to replace the rocker panels along with new floor pans.
