    If anyone can help that would be great, I bought the 50 last year and after all new floorpans and rockers etc last winter and alot of fun this summer ready get back to work on it. the top is chopped and the vent windows aren't done someone just put plex-glass in their place. never done this before so if anyone know how and could give me some info that would be great. I like pictures too!!! thanks

    I think there's a tech on it here... Might search, and I'll look for it!

  4. Pretty basic. to make them work you need a straight line between the top and bottom pivots. everything else is just bending the inner frame to fit the vent seal on the outer frame.
    often you can just start your bends above the top pivot and trim the ends.
    My GMC frames were rusted out so I bent up some stainless steel 47 Merc frames to fit. I would reccomend using stock frames but there are options
