How is your conversion coming. I just picked one up and need some advice on how to finish. 52 yr old man who owned since 76. Daily driver till 2010. Have convertible sissor top, new top cloth, new rear window and boot. I have no trim (hockey sticks and rear deck center trim.I sand blasted the inside frame rails and all the edges and primed them. Then i did the toe board . I test fit the floor and marked every spot where it would be welded ,removed it and drilled all the holes for plug welding. I put the floor back in place ...all by my self. Then i drilled the holes in the seat platform for plug welding and sat it in place .I drilled through the floor using the holes i drilled earlier in the seat platform ,and using a floor jack i then placed the under floor boxes where they would go, that way i could weld the seat platform ,the floor, and the under boxes at the same time. I also bolted in the brace between the two boxes ,before i welded ,to make sure every thing lined up. Using a few sheet metal screws i screwed the pieces together sandwitching all three tightly together and welded it up . i still have a little welding underside but i will wait until it is on the rotisserie . I put in the driver wheel tub and trunk drop off yesterday so no i am ready for the rear seat devider ,after i trim it out .
Argh, you go from pic of back seat in, to top on...I'm trying to figure out how to mount the convertible hardware under the top and behind the seat. TksThe side scoops only took a few minutes , i need to fine tune them a little bit by sanding where they rest against the body but they look great right now.
I put the back seat in just to make sure every thing fit and it does .
i used the top from my 68 convert ,just had to see what it is going to look like , i am almost ready to take it out for a test spin. Now i have to break it all down and bolt it on the rotisserie.
If you are talking about the top bows ,they slip in between the side of the rear seat and the quarter ,with the seat panels off . The ram is attached to the top bows and the whole assembly bolts in with two bolts on each side in the front of the metal bracket the panels attach toArgh, you go from pic of back seat in, to top on...I'm trying to figure out how to mount the convertible hardware under the top and behind the seat.

The hockey sticks and stainless trim is available in reproduction at any Mustang parts dealer ,so are the tack strils for the back of the top material and back window . If yoy have never done a top before you may want a shop to do it ,there is quite a bit of fitting in that areaHow is your conversion coming.
