I completed this project about a week ago. I ended up fiberglassing it, and
welding the frame (it's bolted together from the factory. Then, I got the 2"
foam, and siliconed it together. I fiberglased the sides to seal the halves
together. When it was done the struts easily lift the top. Thanks for all
the help on this one, and you can look through the pics to see the work.

Two things I have to add. As you can see from the finished photos, I'm no
body guy. This was discussed before the project was started, and the owner
is not even expecting it painted, but I figured I'd at least do that for
him. He simply stated he would take care of the final finishing. He was just
excited that it would be mechanically fixed for 1/4 the cost of a new top.
Also, if I were to do this project again, I'd seperate the halves
differently. Instead of spliting the two halves apart, I'd simply cut a hole
in the top all the way around, and pull it out. But, you learn as you go,
and I'll probably not have to do another of these again.
