    Absolutely! I did not plan on it being shiny yet so now I have to step up my game regarding the quality of the parts to go back on. Lol.

    Is the top in its final color? I can't wait to see how well it all goes together!

    Thanks for all the updates, Eric. It is exciting to see this one making the leap from "Reader's Rides" to Cover Car status!

    Ordered a metal polishing setup today so that I can begin to finish all the stainless and get it mounted. Detroit is just around the corner.

    Great new thread title!
    Will you be upstairs this year? (Many feel that the party's downstairs!)
    You may have said, but what muffler are you running on that single pipe?

    Awesome!!! I don't know how I've missed this thread! I randomly searched removable hardtop shoebox... I was curious to see if anyone had done it because I have a convert project in the wings and a hard top and was considering something like this- So cool.
