Hey Everyone,
Been awhile since I've posted anything though slowly plugging away on my Bee and hope to have her going to enjoy by late summer.
I had to remove the vinyl top for a replacement quarter and the guy had lined up to come knock it out had a medical issue come up and is unable to do it, so now back to square one.
My dad & I did the first go around though neither of us had ever done one and while a great learning experience, did not come out perfect. I'm looking for someone experienced with these old B bodies around Kansas City that could do a house call as car is not mobile yet. I do have a compressor, spray gun, fresh DAP Weldwood vinyl top adhesive (gallon), heat gun and the new top. Garage is heated so can bump it up to whatever temp needed to make it easier for any material stretching. Have scuffed the top back down and will have all masked off. Not looking for a handout and will compensate whether it be cash or also have a rebuilt non-ac heater box out of the same car would trade if needed as going Vintage Air route.
Sorry for the garbage pic- didn't have anything clean to put the cover on when I snapped this.
Thanks!
