The new top is nice. Jeff (HTG) said that Honda has improved the OEM top in several ways compared to the top he removed.

Jeff does good work, Jim, as you found. How long did it take him?

He said he did yours in 6 hrs. Because I have a roll bar and a German top liner it actually took him 14 hrs, he said. The installation is perfect, and everything fits nicely. The total, including parts was $1695.
I'm very happy with it. BTW he found some items in the car that I had misplaced long ago.

How has the OEM been improved? Was it changed for any particular model year?

I didn't note the details. Jeff made that comment when he was delivering my car after the install.

Cool Ramblers, Gary!! Thanks!

Rick's brother and his business partner opened the first AMC dealership in our area in 1973. Rick worked there, his Dad worked there, another brother worked there for a while. Down the line it became a Chrysler/Jeep dealership.

Flower pic today. My son and his family brought me some flowers, so I played with the camera a bit.

A question for the photo geeks. I have lots of photos of my mom, etc., that I would like to digitize. What methods do you recommend?
Thanks in advance.
