Progress



I got to work on the hard top today. First I bent a bar to form with the edge of the windshield. This requires a multiple bends in a 3D crescent shape.




Next I welded the 2 peices I bent to go from the body up from the windows to a bar across the top. This will form the top wear the hatch / trunk will hinge to.






Next I attached the windshield the bar to the window bars. After the welds this shape turned out to be a pretty strong shape.
I started to bend a bar from the window supports toward the trunk but this shape is very complex and I didn't have the time to attempt it.
