Hi Diane,

Glad you found a good wire wheel tire installer.  I've never had car with wi=
re wheels, but I understand it's getting harder and harder to find shop that=
 knows how to work on them.

Everyone who has a soft top with a zip ouit rear window loves it.  I've neve=
r had one of those either.  LOL  I've installed soft tops several times nd d=
on't find it too hard.  I have to install one on my '72 as soon as the weath=
er warms up a little.

Send us some pictures of your car.  You can include them right here with you=
r message.

Rick
