Thank You Guys !!! 
Definitely helps keep ya' motivated knowing you have people routin' for ya' 
Ok....I am about at this point in real time so to speak, so here are a few more pics... Enjoy !!!
Just getting everything trial fitted into place and double checkin before the next phase...... But just look at that view now !!!
Okay, I was good with it, so I went ahead and installed the supports and started to weld a little of this clip together rotating my welds from side to side and back and forth to minimize heat and control shrinkage starting with the front to get it back to one piece and the windshield pillar area... I basically work backwards from where I took it apart at.....
In the last 2 shots U can see how once the inner supports are welded back to the clip where all the strength comes from from losing the factory roof..... I am very pleased so far doing the clip this way....
And one more for the night.... Enjoy !!!
Thanks again everyone !!! |
