Last but not least.... the roof. I seriously considered a soft top, after all, I won't be leaving this in some downtown parking lot anytime soon - however, they cost between $1500 and $2500, to which I say... no. That said, this is old tech, so I won't be doing this the standard rebuild way (that includes rivets and a $400 rubber seal). But that's later, first was take the metal bits to the sandblaster then strip what was left.. of course that plan went out the window - as you'll see in a minute
as you can see, someone painted it red. I thought it was just because someone liked mono color - nope
I did remove and throw away the quilted, red vinyl headline (sorry to those who wanted it)
the enemy is red
stripper working
I always liked strippers
as you can see they're very abrasive and caustic
wait, why do I see green?
Because Toyota couldn't put on gel coat - they didn't get the release wax out of the mold so the gel color didn't fully adhere... and now we know why it was painted.
sigh
But the strippers did their work
however, I was planning on not removing the edge metal
yeah
fortunately they make some dang good panel adhesive, but that requires the ring and assorted bits to get blasted as well to give it good tooth
anyway, another day
Doing it all wrong since 1966
