Got all the parts and want to restore the BT7 hardtop. The fiberglass gel
coat has some long radius compression cracks. They need to be repaired and
the top needs to be prepped for and painted. I think the fiberglass shell
will be verify delicate to work with once the aluminum trim and inner frame
is removed. Any suggestions as to how to deal with this?

 

Does anyone have info on how to proceed with a hardtop restoration?

 

Please help.
