My buddy did bodywork (with metal patches) and repainted mine with a "Jeep Green Metallic" single stage urethane. I was just admiring the metallic as the sun was shining on it in the garage. Not suggesting the green, just confirming that single stage urethane is available in metallic.

That's the first thought I had when seeing this, not that I understand all about 3D printing.

I had heard that plain colors were acrylic enamel but metallics were BC/CC :shrug:

Thanks. Yeah he's been a resource for a lot of good parts. Hopefully the new seal works out better. Sorry to mix posts... just went over your build post and kept saying to myself "yeah that's what I would want" (I'd love to hear about the Novak kit as well on the other post)

Just out of curiosity (and reference for future needs by others), do you know the brand/supplier of the existing one?

Here's an example of one. They have Postal specific front doors (notice the squared off top edge of window frame), rear door, among other things. They originally had spray foam lining in the interior that was for the Alaskan climate. https://www.cj-8.com/threads/alaskan-postal-hardtop.53785/...

Here's the one that is recommended: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/FCD-D4001

Here's the post I remembered (#2333) https://www.cj-8.com/threads/another-scrambler-purchase-road-trip-update-body-on-frame-again.24692/page-117#post-474425 As was stated some cowl seals have issues for CJ's, @spankrjs has lots of experience with working on them.

I think you found the issue on the door gap. The four torx in the bracket slots are your windshield angle adjustment, the two lower knobs are for folding the windshield down. As Kim mentioned the cowl rubber may be too dense/thick. This is a common problem with aftermarket seals, I think Raymond...

I believe that the full soft top (Bestop) is designed for the full doors as the Scrambler was only available with full doors with the half top. Also, it appears that the top frame around your door opening in the first pic shows the full door/hard top shape.

Love it! That's kind of what I was seeing in the mockups, except it really needs an 8274 up front.

Those look really good. Have to try some craisins next time. Have you ever tried Raisinets? My wife usually makes a big batch of dough into balls and freezes them, a few minutes in the air fryer/toaster oven and hot fresh baked whenever you get the urge.

Can you post a pic of the uppers installed with the gap?

I'm assuming since you don't know the brand of top you may not have the measurements to adjust the windshield angle as suggested by Kim. These are the measurements from the Bestop instructions, (however they should be the same for all brands as the windshield angle effects full hard door...

Not to sound rude but this is a custom build (note the top, bed, rollbar, etc.) If anyone can make this look right it would be Craig. Also, Craig already has more than his share of stock Jeeps. :rolleyes:

@scott anderson Nice to see you back!

:popcorn:

I'm not sure if this pertains to your current setup but several years ago I had the 350 rebuilt in my new to me step van - (I wanted to start out with a known good engine for my business to avoid downtime). The engine ran great for awhile and then had poor performance issues similar to yours...

:needpic:

Was wondering the same. Doesn't look like he has been active here for a few years. :shrug:
