Yep, one way takes about 3 days in a driveway. The other takes months
and you better have a large covered parking area for most of that time.

Dave Milo really did a sweet full conversion job, the only one that I've
seen that reached full completion looking so close to original other
than the color combinations. Too much work for any but the most
determined. Making a family effort out of it is nice.

Didn't Stuart Black say he messed his up and welded on too tall of a
roof skin so now the fiberglass top doesn't fit down right? The last
photo in his project shows the rear top section sitting high, seals not
down where they belong. I wonder if that got fixed and the project
completed?
