so i have been looking at the mazda for a year or so and have been thinking i wanted to do an all metal convertable hardtop not the rattop kit but something smooth and clean that when the roof is on the truck it doent look like it is removable
so after a lot of thinking and tossing the idea of just selling the dawg
i have decided to go ahead with this project so i masked off the roof and made the first of many cuts
here we go


door frames cut off

i will take tons of pics and do a little how to in this thread
wish me luck i am going to need it
havent done this mod before yikes
i guess its to late to go back now LMAO



RANDY

Holy crap man! Its been too long! I'm glad to see you are working on it again and I hope everything is good!

Congrats on the marriage! Glad to see you're back on the dawg. Can't wait to see more updates.

yes congrats and is it hard top or full time convertable.

going to be a hardtop but removable
should be fairly easy to do i hope LOL
sealing it is going to be the tricky part
still trying to figure that part out but have to get the roof off first LOL



randy
