I have a question about the filler triangle, the only way to get to the top 2 screws is to take the roof off. The factory put my driver side one on crooked. Yours looks good.

You could possibly drill two holes in the A-pillar of the roof section but you would then need to "repair" the holes and repaint. It is a toss up as to which is more work. removing the roof or fixing the holes...

When I was at the pick n pull yard, I drilled holes to remove the triangles so the roof would not be completely useless to someone who needed one badly enough to patch the holes...

Ordered $450 worth of body clips, sunroof parts and side marker lights from the fierostore.com website...
Slower than a snail but still proceeding.

Wow, looks super clean Charlie. Hard to believe it's already been two years since I visited you. Where does time go?

Thank you Dave and Bob, the guy that is doing the painting told me it might take awhile to fit my project in between his normal business but it looks like he is getting ready to get serious and get r done. It has been roughly 10 years since I started on this and I have not regretted it at all. Dave, your project has been very interesting to follow along with and also very inspirational. I really hope you are happy with the result when you are done. It ought to be saved in a museum as a work of art when you are done enjoying it.

We're working on the same schedule, Charlie. And like you, I haven't regretted a moment.

I'm excited to say that the painter was not kidding! Lots of the smaller stuff got painted today and is curing in the booth...
