Nope! Pedro let me know the night before it was time to cut the top off. He had the plan and never hesitated. I was much more nervous about it.

Does this get some sort of wooden bow between the sheet metal and the 3/16th steel reinforcement? Just asking as I know some convertibles use a wooden "tack" strip in the lower part of the body to attach the roof. Or doesn't this use that?
