a good day for me :)

Post by Niclas »

To day im installed the Top for the first time.

It has been in the box for 2 years now

Its a full enclosure top from beachwood canvas.

I was alone so I didn't put in the rail on the windscreen.

Finaly something thats fits without cutting, welding and a bucket of Valium. :)

As Frans and cactiken know I had to fix the top bow system with new feets. and the top bow system fits like charm. It will never be a prize winner but I feel its my JEEP :)

One day I have to learn HTML so I can share my Ideas. Up to now I have like 2000 pictures of the jeep during restoration

as its my first jeep and restoration the next I get will be even better :)

Good Luck with your jeep. Every jeep saved from the scrap yard is a winner! I have a Beachwood Canvas top on by M-38. They are beautifully made and fit great! Regards, Dennis

I see a picture of an M38 in Korea, and it showed how they adjusted it to make a surrie top. Just take the straps in the back and hook them onto the forward bow.

Very Nice Niclas
I am going through the same frustrations the only difference I drink Budwieser to to keep my tools from going airborne and to keep the process moving.

Cheers

Dave
