Thanks, it takes a 37 ac controls and a 74 will work for the instrument cluster that burned out but locally I can’t find a #74 bulb with a blue tint in the glass as it’s what the factory had which actually was a blue rubber sleeve. No blue and it looks like this in tbe picture. I was able to...

eBay but it’s going to cost you an arm a leg an a left nut for what they want or just convert it to a later model which is what I probably should have done.

I really don’t want leds, I’d rather go back with original.

I have two tiny bulbs for the slide ac that I need to replace. Does anyone have a part number for them? They are different size compared to the instrument cluster. Picture below of style ac controls.

My factory heater core had tight fins like this guys has. My aftermarket summit one are wide but seem to work fine for where I live.

That’s awsome, I recently came across a YouTuber in Alabama who builds fiberglass boats and he’s been a huge help in learning more about this process. I’m more visual so to see it being done helps me understand way more.

Thanks, curious to ask are you or did you use to paint cars for living to know so much about this or are you like some of my older friends who have some insanely expensive hobbies that have made it to the pro level?

What brand 2 part epoxy primer do you use recommend ?

Thank you for explaining that was much better than google, I read something about for SMC tops that polyurethane primer needs to be used so it will stick to it, this was google but google isn’t always true. Is this true?

You mention about a high build primer on one of the top restorations you did. Does high build mean when you spray it that it sprays on thick?

Thanks, I had read about polyurethane primers should be used on SMC so this sound quite compatible then. A satin modifier does that take out some of the glossy look to it? Yes I do have a west marine near me, I’ll get to reading on it. Thanks

I started sanding yesterday from advice someone told which was 180-400 but I only had 120 and 320 at home and am sanding the texture/bumps away. I started to wonder if the factory use a texture in the paint to hide any discrepancies in the top or were they going for a certain look. Just watched...

What grit sand paper do you recommend I should sand the top to repaint it? I’ve decide I want to remove all of the texture that was from the factory. With your tips the fiberglass repair has come out looking way better than I ever thought. Thanks

I plan to build one.

I agree mopar would be better if I could buy it. I’ll look into this best top then
