    Nice! I love these videos. I'm about to start rebuilding my '74 Eldorado top and these videos are very helpful.

      @@impalamike7927 is there a difference between the hard top and convertibles as to wheel tub's and or mini tubing for slicks ( coronets have dentures to fit the bow's vs charger's/regular models that shaping isn't needed/there ), or a more compact way of making a convertible car? Richard wood ( also did it to his personal 69 car using a 1975 caddy-top after he retired ) and bill from dodge back in 1967 used this top ( and a fibberglass/composite removable top as steel wasn't part of the original production plans, ultmently top brass caned it unfortunately and or was thinking of forcing the coronet top in previous generations production to be used but it doesn't work/look really right and yes to a tall guy/6-4+ like my father its a blessing as it adds 3"-6" of roofline but to me i'l pass as well as mr.wood/bill/team ect ) on a 1966-70 charger prototype that im looking at cloning/themed with 1/2-sized dihedral sueside back doors on my 69
      also how much about ball park range USD in the lower-48 for the swap/frame cable-type as i don't like the idea of potential oil leaks on my finished installation/interior and or later on needing repairs+leaking and detailing

    I think I met you in Stockton at Marcelo’s shop. I was there buying that faded green 1971 Impala. When I got to the shop you were sitting on the bench and you and the other guy there began telling me all the ways that people steal parts off these classic cars and by the time you guys finished talking I was so scared to take my car home😂. I think you were telling me that you put electric windows in these cars too. Was that you I met?

      Adjusting a rack comes with experience and that is up to individuals to learn how and why. I shared a lot of free game already.

    I’m planning on picking up a 75 lesabre vert that is in great condition/garage kept it’s whole life. Top currently works fine now but after recently discovering how notorious/expensive these are to repair, I’m second guessing my decision now 😳

    Hey Mike I removed both of my gears and took them apart cleaned and regreased them. I have a question for you when I put them back on what is the best way to set the timing I took them off when they still had some tension on them with the top in the closed position.
