A Frame Off Restoration

Plasti Dip for the Foam Insulation

Plasti Dip for the Foam Insulation
We got a great recommendation from the foam shop to coat the foam with Plasti Dip before painting it. Then we found the perfect camo green in Plasti Dip. Now we won't have to paint it too. After proving the concept with a sample piece we are confident to use it for the top's insulation. The treated foam should help maintain in cabin temperatures and provide some sound dampening.

Phase II Restore

With the easy part behind us it' was time to start restoring or replacing parts. This took the longest time because each piece had to be cleaned, inspected, refurbished or replaced. It was fun to learn about each component and gratifying to see each part repaired and ready to install.
