Now's the time to build the windblocker Kim. That tonneau cover bracket can be converted into a bar for the windblocker. Tonneau will fit fine supported by headrest's or tops of seats. Got pics if you want.

Allows me to keep ballcap on my head at 70+ mph

Sure , pictures are nice. I don't have any tonneau brackets though.
 
Speaking of pictures...
Have you put any up here now that it's 'done'?

BTW I learned the hard way not to park under street lights.
Around here some (apparently) big birds sit up there.
Be careful - that stuff is hard to clean off.
 
I need to take some, maybe this evening, along with a You tube video if I can get the wife to help me. Hey there is a local car club meeting tonight at 6 pm and I was gonna try to make that too now that I actually have a working ride.
 
Yeah - make the car club - pictures can wait!
 
How about pictures at the car club...two birds...one stone!!! :thumbsup: :laugh:
 
Oh yes - that would be GREAT!!

Oh, yeah they were nice enough. Most were well off retired people from up North. I never been in a club before, there was all kinds of talk about charities and wine tastings and rallies and things. I wonder how much any of them actually work on their cars? I will try it again at the next meeting and make a decision after that.
 
Re your need for a wind blocker.
I made one from a sheet of 4x4 x1/4 inch acrylic from Home depot $50. Cut it with a dremel and round saw bit. Heated theedges with plumbers propane torch. It fits with roof up so I do not need to remove it.

It is held in place be two holes (1 behind each headrest post) and a bungee cord hooked to the headrest post. I will post pics later today.
