You're very welcome! Be sure to pull that pivot bolt on the shaft, there is a roller bearing in there. Mine was so dry the rollers were frozen.

Rear lexan window is in place (need to update the pic). I used well nuts (rubber) that are often used for motorcycle fairings. Easily removable to replace the window (or to remove to paint the top).

To secure the top, I've decided not to use Dzus fasteners as my experience is that they tend to pop open at the worst times. Instead, I'm going to use rivet nuts and large headed screws. This method will require a bit more time to attach/detach the roof, but at least I won't have to worry about the top coming off at speed.

Pic for attention.

Got the top mounted yesterday. Top has not yet been painted, and the edges of the window will be "blacked" out. That can wait till after testing the next two weekends.

Still need to mount the rear view mirror, hang the doors, and install the brake cooling ducts and I'm ready to head to the track.

Updated pic for attention.

Washed and ready for the weekend. Still lots to do on the car, but it's a good start.

Looks good! Hope all goes well on the maiden voyage.
