    convertible fuselage header and dutchman panel removal

    Convertibles have a heavy 3/8" or 1/2" thick steel L channel inside of the sheet metal rocker running the full length. It's there to strengthen the body being a unibody convertible. There's alot of structural integrity in a steel roof.

    convertible fuselage header and dutchman panel removal

    The trim from the doors that wraps around the back, against the Dutchman panel should be saved too. It appears to never have had buttons screwed into it, which many do.

    Thinking of starting a you tube channel

    Dubious Trunk Repairs on ‘66

    I would do what you have planned. Looks troweled on there! Possibly your car has always had the condensation problem and this was preventative maintenance. Did you get the condensation issue resolved?

    Good call! The original he is trying to match definitely has a very dark stain, perhaps it has aged that way, but it looks as though it's always been very dark.
