Be careful, you keep taking parts off it you might just have a bare frame on the other side of the garage before you know it.

I always wondered where all those damn gnomes came from! In your picture of the back seat area-at the base of the wheel-well covers-are those holes factory? And what purpose would they serve? On the conv.,any water that gets in goes there,then out.Wondering why they are on yours.Thanks-also-since you have the headliner out-could you please measure the top bows for me? Mine was already out and I am not sure which goes where. Thanks muchly! ---bil

yup, the wife already gave me shit because jeff and i had the whole x-rated diorama goin up there,took her a couple months before she noticed, ha, those are rust holes through to the tire.must take the brunt of a burnout, been looking at that for a while trying to figure how to weld in a patch. is up against a seam/ pinchweld area. its a little clearer now ive been able to clean it up better.
heres my bow meas. at rear window first 51 3/8" 50 1/4" thin wire 48" 49 1/2" 49 1/2" the two front at 48" appear the same but i never took them out of the headliner

Yeah, I've seen them before, usually just remnants of ones, but I have one or two complete ones around here somewhere. The side chrome behind the tires, where the studs poke into the trunk have them. Back panel studs do too. Ones I have are made out of rubber, vac hose size.
