If the job is out of my league, I know a guy who's been doing fiberglass boat repair for a few decades now. I try to always have a backup plan or a plan to revert back to the original state.

Will have to look at the top when I get it to check for rigidity, curvature of roof, etc. What is it they say - no plan survives first contact with the enemy? If the removable panel doesn't appear feasible, there's always the idea of pulling a mold from the roof, using the mold to do a Lexan panoramic panel and figuring out a way of installing that. But we'll see what we're working with first.

And JB, seriously - I really don't think of red as a Porsche color, but yours is the nicest red one that I've seen since the Herrmann and Attwood one from 1970.

p.s. Anyone, your experience with the Wurth wheel paint? I have a couple of scuffs that I'd like to fix ...
AHRMA? Recently I've got the inklin to try out flat tracking. My buddies dad did it back in the 70s and 80s, but I figure it might be terrifying enough for me.

You seem like you got more experience than me on glass. I just lived aboard a boat for a few years. That'll teach anybody how to "make it work", but make it pretty is a different story that I never read. lol
