Brief Description:  Disassemble Roll Bar for final paint 2

Roll bar has been ugly green primer for at least a year. I removed and machine sanded all sides. My goal is to remove any high spots that would sit proud of the roll bar and affect the canopy riveting. I then painted about 4 coats on all sides. It turned out really good. It will cure for a couple days before I handle it to remount. Once remounted, I can rivet the rear window in place as well as make the last smooth sanded joint between the rear window and tip up canopy edge. Its damn good now but I want a little more than 1/16 spacing between the two all the way across the roll bar. I will also install some p window seal across the roll bar to get pinched by the closing canopy against the rear window for a nice weather seal. I've seen it a couple of places and like it.
