Here is a before the lift and top after my repair on my top and after the lift. now in a couple weeks I will put up the pics when I get the paint work done. Any sugestions on color?

I ended up breaking out all the damaged fiberglass and rebuilding it from scratch. First time doing glass work but when all is said and done i got the texture and all of the curves back to factory. It took many late nights and a good buddy by the name of SAM ADAMS to get me through it.

The lift looks good. Is the top black or white? Are you smoothing out the texture?

For color, what's wrong with redoing it the same color?

I am keeping the texture and it used to be black. The wife didn't like it so I painted it white. I am looking at the possibility of keeping it the factory yellow. However there is 2 others that live close by that are the same color. Tough choices.

Lookin' good! Theres nothing wrong with yellow, lol. Mines Corvette yellow. I think I have yet to see one I didn't like, maybe pink, might not like pink, lol. Orange, black, red, blue, and yellow are my top favs.

Mines blue & I like it but my 1st choice would be Hugger Orange, I just think these Blazers were meant for that color!!

The thing about the orange is that is oregon state colors and I went to U of O and I couldn't do that to my fellow alumni.
