do you still have the liner in, or did you take it out when you cut the top?

Default paint!

Today me and my dad got most of the painting done, along with our seat covers installed. yesterday we modified our tire mount to sit lower (so its not as much of a wind catch) and made a mount on our new cage for the high lift.
got a lot done, check out the pics.

Default ...W...T...F...?!?!?!

So before starting our rebuild we had some head problems, ended up breaking a chunk off and jb weld in a stud to hole on thermostat housing. well now after completely rebuilding my engine thinking the stud was in there solid, it now wont stay and we are leaking around it. so i get to pull and replace my head. had to rant there for a little.
