July 21, 2012 Some touching up of the factory beige on the 2 bow top frame.  I also stained the windshield top rail prior to covering.


               
July 22, 2012 Here we are getting the frame mounted into place.  We started covering the top rail with the stayfast tan top.  This was the first attempt of several.  It did finally come together for a nice finished product.


                   

                   
July 27-30, 2012 Over the next few days the car was trailered to my dads house for completion of the top.


               
May 8, 2013 Finally we get to the side curtains.  Because of the way Moss stitches the frame pattern on the window you are pretty much forced to position the frame over the stitching to cover the stitch holes.  We carefully lined up the frame to the window stitches, and marked the holes with a pencil.  Then using a punch we punched the holes in the window.  We lined up the window chrome and marked the inside edges so we knew about where to trim the fabric back to expose the clear window.  I forgot to take pictures of the actual cutting of the fabric.  I will when we do the front curtains.  After the fabric is cut back we assembled the frame and chrome pieces to the window.  Some minor trimming and tweaks were required for a nice fit.  The top chrome piece needed to have a slight bend in it for proper fit.


               

                   
June 6, 2013 The front side curtains are now complete.  We started by lining up the frame with the stitching on the curtain.  Marked the holes and then punch them out.  We then assembled the frame and chrome strips to the curtain and marked the lines where we would need to cut out the window.  Then removed the frame and chrome strips and cut the fabric away from the clear window.  Then we fine tuned the curtain and reassembled the frame.  We fit the now complete frame and curtain to the car and visually measured the hold down strap to the door and installed a snap to the door.  The side curtains are now done!
