Getting the original skins and wheels off and putting a set of 1990 rollers on. Wheels will be sent to Alabama for R & R. Hopefully, with the original wheels restored, I can persuade the tires to hold air so tubes won't be needed...

I've wondered the same thing. We'll get it working again. I think the challenge will be making sure it doesn't pull the hatch down too tight. Since the hatch is all glass with no supporting structure, too tight could possibly shatter it.

Original rear camo panel that kept the press from seeing the new design. I'll use this as a template to have a new one replicated...

keep us posted on the hatch pull down, I always thought the pull down would be cool to have, but more as a remote hatch vent..
