Your car looks awesome. Love the sidepipes on it. Now for a couple of questions,
1. How hard is it to install a convertible top and
2. How big is your garage!!!! That is what I need for a garage. It looks huge.

Very Excellent! Looks like you are getting there. Can't wait to see it completed.

BTW, what is the other car? Looks like it might be from the 50s.

Jared and Mark. the car next to mine is a 1950 Ford 2 door sedan my father and I restored when i was 9 years old. I basically watched, helped and learned along the way. Its got a 5.0 mustang engine with an automatic..very 50s with all white vinyl interior, lake pipes, whitewalls, and all kinds of chrome up front. :cheers:

2. How big is your garage!!!! That is what I need for a garage. It looks huge.
1. Not hard, but not easy.. I watched my dad do a few tops in the past...I recommend the AL Knoch tape...couldn't have done it without it.
2. Garage holds 5 cars comfortably...the back area is basically a work area..so far, i can't get my car out of that spot. :lol:
