Location: Hayward, Calif		Hey Guys, I haven't posted here for awhile, so guess I should catch up. Had my Fab guy cut me some 2 1/4 16 ga pieces to put in underside of the roof. Trying to put that strip up there, get the ends curved and then the right length was turning into a #ricking nightmare. So I cut it off set from center of roof, was then able to get the curved ends in tight and snapped up into place. I got 3 of them set in place and ran out of large C-clamps. I also used some 1x2" sticks to help hold them in place. I call it my 'sticks of shame' But in my defense, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Thought you guys would enjoy these pics. Jerry

off last winter !

Those sticks are going to make for an interesting rear seat area when finished. Will you upholster them ?
