Also, I finished all the black diamond plate bed caps and interior panels, got the camo marathon seat covers, and ordered a soft top from softopper.com on the 19th. I'll be sure to update with more pics this weekend.

Default Softopper 73-75 (genII) soft top

Sorry it took so long, I took the soft top on it's first test drive for a 500 mi. trip to TN. The good news is, the top fits AMAZINGLY well in the rear. It's not quite as tight on my vehicle in the front due to a difference in the width of the windshields between mine (94) and theirs (74). No biggie, I think I can fabricate something. The quality of softopper.com's product is awesome. It took about an hour to install, comes with all rails, brackets, and hardware...super easy. Unfortunately, the glass windows don't seal with the soft top completely. there is about a 1/2 in. gap along where the b-pillar was. My plan is to get some lexan and make windows of my own, and also see if I can get some canvas from softopper and try to create some patches using that and some industrial strength velcro and see which one I like better. Also, there is a ton of wind noise coming along the top of the windshield between the snaps. I'm going to fabricate a wind deflector out of 2 '99 grand prix sun roof wind deflectors, also put in the provided weather stripping, and silicone in-between the buttons along the windshield. Sorry for the poor quality and low number of pics, but y'all get the idea I'm sure. Overall, the top turned out better than I could have ever imagined it. More pics are sure to come if y'all are interested in seeing them.

Just saw the rest of these Pics.
Did you have to weld any extra support under the rockers or windshield frame?
