Oof. That's the one part of my build I'm going to farm out.

Good luck !

The top is done other than the weatherstripping.I thought it went pretty well other than the top was sewn crooked by the top of the back window.
I called Electron about it and they basically said that was impossible and it was my measurements that were off.I sent them pics and heard nothing more so I went ahead and installed it anyways.I was able to,for the most part,hide their mistake so I think it will be ok.
I ended up with one small wrinkle in the driver corner by the quarter that should come out with a steamer.Maybe I got lucky but I thought it was fairly easy compared to some of the things I get into.
Here are some pics.

So I don't really care for the big 'ole trunk in these cars so I thought I would finish it off.It is not a numbers car anyways,just a nice driver and it can all come right back out in a few minutes.I am making the panel for the underside of trunk now.
