Curt & Steve,
I don't believe you can get the Hardtop preassembled, and wouldn't want to,
because each car is different and each Top must be fitted to each
individual car.

PG said "If you get a hardtop from Nical or Cape, make sure it is
assembled..........it's a brutal job."

Oh so true.  I'm planning a project paper for my website sometime after the
Galena Conclave.  I assembled my BJ7/BJ8 Nical Eng. hardtop about a month
ago.  While I can't make the job easier for you, I might be able to help you
attack some of the challenges.  If you already have assembled yours I'd be
interested in anything you may have learned.

Whether they are original or Nical, I'm also interested in how BJ7/BJ8
hardtops fit.  All the hardtops I've seen, including the orginals, have some
fit issues around the side windows.  Please send them off-list.

Cheers,
Steve
