    Did an awesome job on my top !! Just like I pictured . Love it ! Be back for a few more things. Been into cars for about 50 yrs. I know what I see when a guy does a good job. You are one of the few good fabricators my friend .

    That was pretty sweet how you cut those bows to chop that convertible top. But it still looks like it could have came like that from the factory. You did a great job and made it look easy. 💯👍👍

    I like the look but don't like the top bow attached with 1 screw per side. Also the bow pertrudes too much out on the side. I like your idea of replacing the bow with a metal one. My opinion. Enjoy

    • @RACGARAGE
      @RACGARAGE  3 года назад

      I understand it’s only held on loosely with 1 screw because it was only mocked up. It had to come off for the upholsterer. It won’t be finished with 1 screw on each side 🤣

    Well young man, you did a great job on chopping a convertible top!!!! I’ve never seen that done before in my 70 years of life…..Hardtops, but never a convertible. So I’ve decided to “chop” the top of my Prius and I’m going to let “YOU” do it for me!!! What do you think about that????

    Great job! Forget the steak knife, take an old screwdriver and grind the tip to make a scribe.

    Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
    Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
    Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
    Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
    Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."

    What if you wanted even more aggressive chop. Would you shorten up everything more and chop stanchions too? Your idea, please

    • @RACGARAGE
      @RACGARAGE  3 года назад +1

      Yeah I’d probably end up cutting and reworking those pieces towards the top that I talked about. And yes chop everything else more.
