65 Dart Revisited II

Members. Here are some additional pics on the vinyl top. BTW, I used a spray vinyl contact using an old NAPA siphon gun that I used to use to spray my lacquer finish on my interior doors when I had my construction business. Good use for that old gun as it has served its purpose. The gun is now retired and placed in File 13. To complete the job using the spray contact, it takes roughly a quart and one-half to manage two coats on both surfaces. Spray contact, I believe, is already thinned in the can in order to accomplish the spraying capability. Most Watercraft marinas have the spray contact, but I bought the stuff from a company in Texas when we did our 66. The price was right, but the shipping was terrible as this contact adhesive was not water base. Lots of bucks to ship volatile materials....which I did not know when I ordered it. I did check with a local marina, and they had the same product. BTW, the Old Fart in 006, yeah, that's me...just goes to show you that working on these Early-A Cars will turn you into an old man.....or keep you going. Great retirement hobby. Thanks again for following. I would like to thank 65 Dartman, 65 Dartcharger, Rod7515, among so many others for there ongoing support and advice on this project....even through my health situation. A special shout to Rich (SSVDP) who helped me out on the A.C. brackets. I will continue to post as I progress. I hope to be on the road by June 1st.....Hope, I say. Thanks. sgrip65

Thanks for the vinyl top tutorial. I'll be referring to it for my vinyl top installation. Did you use a metal strip to secure the vinyl above the window opening? Did you fill the void between the vinyl and stainless trim that fits over the gutter with sealant?
