Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2006 3:39 pm Post subject: Putting on the top question

I am ready to permanently install the top and have a question for those that

have completed this stage.  I plan to put in a fabric headliner, but haven't

quite picked out the color scheme/material.  The plans recommend

painting/installing liners prior to putting on the lid, but that would cause

me a significant delay (and I'm not terribly patient when it comes to big

progress moments like this).  Am I going to really regret not doing certain

prep work, or is it a minor inconvenience to do later.  

	One other thing I noted that is causing me to go this direction, it

looks like I'll just be scratching the paint even more around the forward

bulkhead during the final install so I'm hesitant to get too far on the

finish work.



Thanks,

Marcus

I would do as much of the interior work as possible.  Yes it will  

need some repair later but it beats laying upside down to do sanding,  

gluing etc.



Do not archive.

Marcus,



I would do as much sanding/filling on the top interior as possible

before installing permanently.  If you're going to paint the interior

top, I'd also do that before installing.  If you're going with a

headliner and the surface prep is finished, it won't be too bad to

install later.  You will be dealing with Proseal (aft cabin top to

tailcone interface), epoxy (door frame to cabin side interface + misc),

window adhesive and some interior paint after installing the top - lot's

of opportunity for a headliner to get damaged.  It's probably easier to

avoid than protect.
