Thanks!! The walnut came from my property. I dropped the tree, had it milled to lumber and then shaped it to fit the need in the shop. Makes it a bit more special for me....

Yeah, I really like walnut too. My road is Oak Valley Drive, but I have more walnut trees than oaks, some pushing 24" diameter. Also some shaggy bark hickories, ash, honey locust and some linden/bass wood. My sawyer had some major medical issues, so I either need to find a new guy to cut for me or buy a big band saw....

Mounting Tops Is A Pain!
When I took the top off the last time I saw that the bottom back of the top was cutting a groove in the raised surround lip behind the seats.

I had been advised to use some precise dimensions for the location of the tabs, moved them twice, and STILL got it wrong! Thankfully I hadn't yet filled the slots that I'd cut, so at least I don't have to cut a hole. What I SHOULD have done is placed the top with the back edge just behind the lip, carefully marked the mounting bolt position, and placed the tabs, then let the top set the tilt of the windshield stanchions & upper posts.
Measuring shows the tabs need to move back an inch, which makes it easier to just make new tabs, position the new ones next to the old, and weld them in, then cut out the old.

Had some visitors from the north, headed further south, driving an awesome lime green Chevy truck that they called Rita. I failed to capture Rita, but I did get them coming back from a ride in the roadster! I think they enjoyed it! It fits him better than it does me!! Safe travels to the south, Seth & Kari, and stop in on the way home!!

No Ken, I won't be coming down for the NSRA show next weekend. The big shows don't really interest me anymore. Originally Posted by NTFDAY
