Congratulations, Dan--looks great. Thoughts:
1). Gas cap looks great--I should have done that, too.
2). If your trunk latch is closed, the "arms" on the handle should be horizontal.
3). Take your time with the top and you'll do well. Be sure to start the lift-the-dot fasteners on the sides and work toward the center of the car, finishing in the center. Also, be sure to have the side curtains in place while you are installing the top.
4). I had to drill and retap my windshield stanchions to take a larger screw for the top latch hooks--the standard screws are miniscule and stripped the threads in the stanchion with extremely little effort applied. Be careful, but know that you can easily remove the windshield from the stanchions for the redrilling (should you decide to do so) and thus not lose the angle you have chosen.
5). I still regret getting the heater--it should not be leaking after only 700 miles/9 months.
6). I like your blue "sill protector" on the driver's side
7). Enjoy every drive--amazing how well it rides, don't you think?
8). Last thought - I added round chrome tailpipe covers for a typical period look on the dual undercar exhaust. To me, it gave my car a more finished look. Opinions, of course, may vary!
