I have now permanently installed the roof panel to the frame. I'm using a urethane adhesive that ensures it is properly secure, while allowing some flexibility for movement and expansion. This also ensures critical areas are sealed.

A depressing day on the car yesterday....I needed to adjust the front coilover height. I wanted to add an inch on the passenger side (I will need a little extra on the driver's side too). Unfortunately, even with the weight off the front end, my coilover tool doesn't seem to want to do it's job (it appears to be slightly too small to work properly) so I needed to completely disassemble the suspension in order to change the height. It took quite a while to get it all apart, but I finally made the adjustment. Got everything put back together and then discovered that the ride height hadn't changed any...  Turns out that when I measured it (after initially installing the suspension, wheel and fender), something was interfering and it wasn't actually sitting properly on the spring.  Everything is clear now and sitting correctly...but I'll have to take everything apart again and set the height properly.

Thanks Larryinkc! I'll definitely pick up a replacement for mine. The right tool will save me hours when fine tuning the heights.

Well after making a new coilover wrench that works great, I almost got everything to the right height but now have to deal with some stripped upper ball joint nuts. I had been fiddling around with the front suspension and had everything apart a few times. Unfortunately, in the process the nuts decided to commit suicide. Of course they are an annoying size to get locally...so I had to order them. I probably will take a break until those come in.

With supervision like that Bob, it'll be years before I get back in the garage....

In if it is freezing cold, if they are hot put them out there where you can use them..
Hmm not sure this is a better way of saying that 
Keep it up () with the build, you have done a lot already, I hope you have enough energy to get it all done
