I finally purchased a original bugeye top off eBay hopefully it is decent enough to redo.
purchased mostly for looks, but I can see some benifical reasons to have such a part on the bugeye. sidenote..prices are getting crazy for these tops.
I know anything fiberglass is hot, so I would think these tops are hot as well? If so has anyone tried the dynomat to block heat? how about the old style headlinner?
I was thinking of redoing surface with new gelcoat. I have never sprayed jelcoat so enlightened me please if anyone has. Hoping that process would stop future cracking/chipping issues.
any links are advice on redoing the top would be appreciated.
and lastly. why is it a top and not called a Hood as the vinyl counterpart?
please feel free to discuss anything about these tops whether it pertains to anything I mentioned or not
