Black top and throw A/C in there if it were my car.

At last, she has a pulse - a heartbeat with which to fuel the soul.

Congrats, John - that has to be gratifying as hell.

Technically, and as this is a restoration...the convertible top's color is supposed to match its top-bows'
color (black, in this instance.)

The convertible boot's color is supposed to match its main-interior color of the car.

Got the Goodyear Super cushions mounted and balanced, a major improvement over the 'rollers' I had on previously. The car started and ran well, only problems were from defective parts- Starter solenoid, oil sending unit, and voltage regulator. After adjusting the trans selector cable and hooking the shift keyboard up, I installed the driveline, and took a short putt around the property, using a milk crate as a seat. Also got the top hydraulics all bled out, so the top frame goes up and down.

M'lisa did take a few videos, but we couldn't figure how to upload them here, so the pics will have to do.

Installed the taillight assemblies, and hooked up the rear electrical, now all lighting and signals are working. Next, since my order from Goers arrived, installed the tail panel gravel shield, then assembled the rear bumper and fitted it. Next, the front bumper with the bumper wings.

A bit more progress this weekend. I also have all the upholstery done now, but want to get the top installed first to avoid the possibility of the interior getting damaged. I gave the car a good cleaning of the inside to remove the accumulated dust, sand, etc.

John, which is the proper protocol:

Get the windows all properly aligned (in/out/ and up/down) to the body, and doors operational and
aligned to the body...

and THEN: get the top mechanism(s) to operate, 'against/with' the top-structure....

OR: vice-versa: get the TOP to work properly, and then worry about its alignments with the
glass, and doors AND....with its roof rail weatherstrips???

It would seem to me that I'd rather have perfectly operating and aligned glass, so that, with the top being
DOWN....I could RAISE all of the windows, and (hopefully) have ALL of the window 'frames' slide up-into their door-weatherstrips,
easily and perfectly...

OR....have the window assemblies be so-CLOSE to being perfectly aligned, with the raised-top, that only a minor
hand-or-power adjustment of the window frame(s) would be necessary to gain a perfect window/door alignment.

But, to me, the perfect alignments would all seem to come down to having perfectly
working and aligning 'glass', which would, then, NOT conflict with the movement and operation of the top
mechanism.

ALSO, after I would attain the perfect door:glass operational-alignments, I would apply a SHIP-load
of "thread locker" to all of the internal moving-mechanisms....so that the doors and windows would
NOT loosen-up from repeated usage, and start to shake and rattle.

Good question, Neil! I tried the "glass" route first. That didn't fit with the top so I tried to make the "glass" fit the "top"! I got so mad I don't remember whether the top or the glass won! I know I had to do a lot of "unkind" things to the top frames as well as the glass channels. Patience----is what it takes. It doesn't sound like I had much patience, but that is what it took.

I remember taking a ride, many years ago, in an original 300D convert. The top/glass fit in that car was so bad I think the driver could have hand signalled a turn without even lowering the glass at all!!!

I'm looking forward to John's reply.

I also had this issue-It must have been a design flaw, as I could find no easy way to correct it. It will have to do for now, though.

I fitted the carpet, and assembled the front swivel seat. Then I installed the steering wheel with a re-done center pad. Then, off to have the ragtop installed.

I would say get the top to align perfectly (pins going in slots, etc.) before aligning the glass. Pretend that it's a hardtop.

Note: The latches should be real tight against catches on a new top. Almost too tight. Things will loosen up after a while.

John,
I have enjoyed the step by step rebuild, which by the way was comparable to the guy in Italy building the 57 Adventurer convertible. You have helped a number of novices like myself learn the way to attack rust and and patch pieces the right way. Your recap of taking your pride and joy east to the nationals was very enjoyable. In my mind it took a lot of courage to drive your car you just got together that far. you are such a great example for the rest of us learning and loving our forward look cars and I might ad a good source for parts at a fair price. Thanks for the ride and sharing your years of knowledge.

I've now put 11,000 miles on this car since completion.

Just south of us there is a big car show just before Halloween every year, it usually draws 300 hot rods and classics, but this year rain was forecast and many stayed home. It was clear on the drive there, and rain didn't hit until a couple hours into the show, so people had time to look the cars over. Small crowd, just 60 or so cars. A few even left when the rain started!

I was surprised to be awarded People's choice award, meaning that the '59 will be on all next year's T-shirts at the show.
