Is your soft top normally that loose in the back? Or is that just from changing out the hinges?
No, that's from putting on new windows. That's the slop you get when the windows aren't made with the top I guess?
I'm replacing the entire top with a new one though, so I can live with it for now.
If you get that kind of slop from changing out your hinges, you did something really wrong. lol
 
Replaced the stock stereo head unit with an aftermarket JVC head unit. This was incredibly easy, and I highly recommend forking out the $24 to have Crutchfield wire up the harness adapter. Just the new head unit alone has brought back some life in the stock speakers. I'll be looking to upgrade speakers next in a couple weeks.

Also, while I was at it I replaced the HVAC bulbs with new LED bulbs. A couple of the stock bulbs were shot, so this was a huge improvement. Went ahead and swapped out LED's in the foot-wells and sound bar also.

Before and after pics below.

Started mocking up a frame to make a shallow drawer with the spare wood I have. Hopefully it comes out straight-ish. I think the weight will keep it in place but will probably think of a way to tighten it to seat attachment points and make it easily removable. need to find some good drawer slides and will probably carpet the top so it will be not too obvious at a glance.

Installed a 1.25" body lift, for no other reason than it gives better access to the frame for preservation work. Some of the rust pictures I've seen- holy moly.

If I can find a long enough 7/16 x 20 bolt I'll raise it another half.
I have used boltdepot.com to source unusual or odd bolts that regular stores don’t carry.

I dig that shift knob. Can you share the source?
