Folks,
I just finished removing the top of my fathers 1970 Ghia cabriolet. Just Ghias used to offer a service where someone could send them their top frame and they would R&R it. Of course this costs money but I need to save some time/energy.
I just called Just Ghias and they don't offer this service anymore. Has anyone heard of this service being offerd recently?

Matt,
Thanks for the reply.
I'd like to do the top myself, but if its possible to pawn some work elsewhere I'm all for it. I will call rocky mountain and chuck to ask them. As I get the car sand blasted I suspect my time will be filled with body cut&weld repair. Not looking forward to that.......unless
Unless you know someone in town who can weld in repair panels on a KG? Bondo is not an option.
TIA,
