Title: found rust under driver seat
Post by: cbenz1 on February 05, 2015, 15:27:58
DAMN - found some rust under my driver seat while I took seat out to do some other work.  Not so bad but definitely need to patch.  Anyone have someone they have used in New Jersey for this kind of work. Anyone every try Hibernia Auto restorations?

Also top needs replacing - anyone do that locally and happy.  I am worried that it needs adjustment as well so nervous about just sending it to anywhere...

Thanks

After trying other options to have my top installed with very poor results, I went to see Gernold at SL Tech in Arundel, Maine. He strips everything apart, puts the top frame on his jig and rebuilds it as it should. Then installs the fabric. Not cheap, but as he says, it will still be on the car in 50 years, as did the original. He has frames sent to him form all over the world.

YOU ARE!!!! ;D

If all you do is work on one model car day in day out for 30 years you get to be very good at it.
