Aw man you guys are lucky 
my side windows don't seal and there is a bunch of open spots where cold air gets in AND my heater doesn't blow as hot as it should.... Not unless it is already it out anyway so i can get warmed up enough to keep the glass unfogged and to keep me from shivering...

I noticed on the Pismo trip that even with my windows up, there was a lot of wind noise coming from somewhere. maybe the holes between the windshield and drip rail? Not sure, but even with that, the heater could still keep me warm.

Well I cleaned up a few things today. I decided to take off those Chrome trim pieces on the wheel wells. Also I went and grabbed some Mother's wheel polish to see how it'd do. I think it turned out pretty nice. This stuff doesn't really clean or remove anything but it shines up real well.

It looks great cleaned up. I wish i could make my rims nice but being polished aluminum i can't do much. Maybe someday i will paint them black. I always wanted black rims but if i do it, i think i will do it myself or have my co worker powder coat them. He has the gun, the powder, and a home made oven to cook the powder.

Ya but i would end up cutting too much or not in straight likes or something... I don't have much confidence in cutting stuff, especially since i would be outside doing this and don't have another top readily available for replacement haha. Over here in Washington it rains like 90% of the year so just taking the top off period is risky and you need to carry a tarp around... I can't wait to do that though i am dieing to see what she looks like topless

Hahah you know i lived in SAC for a while when i was young then my dad moved there a while back and i visited him during summer... Its to hot 
haha i am used to 60-80 summer not 105-115. Besides this summer is supposed to be pretty nice. Maybe just maybe after i see how it is topless i might think about doing a bikini, maybe i can find another doner top from the local JY and hack into it wither for practice or as the bikini then have my regular one for winter or something.
