    Is the top bent? The picture makes it look like it is going up as if it is bent of the windshield is too tall. Good fab work i like the doors.

    cj 7 doors to start with. the tops i think will be modified half door tops. the top was a cj 7 part i sliced up to make fit, the 7 has more meat between the inner fender and the top rail than a 5.had to make up the difference in the front to avoid odd looking rear quarter glass,(woulda been taller than wide) took about 4 inches of length in the quarter glass and sliced down the middle of the front half(in the roof) and widened the front 3 inches or so in a pie shape,and added two or so along the gutters to fit the width and curve of the intermediate window frame vs the flatish line of a 7 therefore the slope in the roof line...both ways.[​IMG]

    Thanks. Well I guess I don't have the same top. Doors for the intermediate Acme tops are practically non-existant. This looks like it might be a good solution. Well done!
