Was watching thanksgiving parade and thinking about Miss Agatha.

Getting awfully close to haveing nothing to do.

Thought, hay, have not installed top. So that's what I am doing. She is out in sun warming up top and waiting on son who is a moose to arive and help stretch.

LOL. guess I will need to refirbish a couple of side curtans and get a nice bag for them as well

Neet to have some car stuff to do.

Have a great turkey day guys.

Was just looking at fit of sidecurtin rubber surounds, I don't think these are correct or something, They are too big.

But I am sure the side curtins are the correct ones. Going to check. Back, look like the right ones. Hmmm, maybe I will order one new rubber suround and see.

Tried those cars way back when and as close as last year. I don't fit at all, no room for arms or legs. Roll ups cause a loss of about 4 inchs in elbo room and thick seats about 3 inchs in leg room. Just enough that I don't fit.

Oh, I have a set of side curtins that work, it is just that they need new anadoized frames. In fact even have an extra set of frames if someone needs.

Top on and all snaps and such fit. Thanks to son.

one side curtan with rubber installed. Mounting clamps just cleaned and painte, I know, should be galvanized. So one side is about to become weather tight.

Hate to start installing rubber on passanger side. Tough job on fingers.

Nice outside. This is first time Miss Agatha has had a top on in maybe 20 years or so. Traded an extra set of HS2 carbs for this top.

Well done, Jack. Now stop fiddling with it and get out there and drive it! You've got to make up for the rest of us who are stuck in snow country.
