Kaye Comes to the Rescue -- Porsche 911 Targa Top VI -- Skin is Now On

Hi folks -- well, yesterday was an ordeal! Thanks to Kaye's careful cutting of the trim around the top skin, the insistence on quality construction rather than muddling through, and work until after dark the skin is now in place, although we still have to glue down the two sides where the top is attached to the gutters. If you decide to do this project, look and then look again at the way the old top was glued to the frame -- note it is only around the edges and in tabs up past the top clips. Use plenty of masking tape to make sure that holes for the clips and adjacent areas do not get glue on them. Take your time -- far more time than most want to spend to get it done right and aesthetically pleasing. This is no job for the faint at heart. Use lots of steel clips as you glue. Use contact cement, as that is the only adhesive that will hold. At crucial times, read as much as you can from the experiences of others, expecially on the Pelican Parts Tech articles.
