I ordered a one pice roll pan from Caddy pan

Perfect fitment

I used 5/16 large flange s/s pop riverts for install

The valance and roll pan are going to paint next week

Iam pulling the windsheild and rear window to paint the roof and hood , Iam going to have him touch up the area was thestock  battery was located...

The new tinted windsheild includes a seal, on the rear window I will be installing a new rear bubble window from Germany

That's good to hear, I ordered the two piece a few years ago and the fitment was horrendous it was a waste of money.
