Re: Bubblegum & Bailing Wire Project
I can see them now. Must have been a glitch. Not much going on to take pics of. Been working on capping the front frame where the F body clip went in. I did start on a French antenna. More pics soon

Seat sat too high so it had to go. I put it for sale on Craigs List for $100.00 and it sold in 4 hours. Guess I should have asked more?

Re: Bubblegum & Bailing Wire Project
I used a huge washer, an old dip stick tube and welded it all together to make the French antenna.
On the inside you can see how it works. Power antenna will go in the tube and the dipstick will be used to hook up a 3/8 rubber hose and fed through the floor to get rid of any water that will find it's way in the hole during rain or washing.

Re: Bubblegum & Bailing Wire Project
Any updates? I am going to chop the top on mine this coming winter if all goes as planned. I see you relief cut the roof. Without relief cuts would I need to quarter the roof? I have a second roof.
My plan was if I didn't have to quarter it use the front half of the donor with the back half of the original. That way only 1 weld across the top. If I need to quarter it I will probably pick up another roof in order to minimize actual welds.
Clear as mud?
