****NEW Battery & terminals installed8/24/2015. *****Top works perfectly & correct with the new battery. Top original hydraulic operation has no glitches orunexpected slowness (the motor & pump can be seen in engine compartment picture). Two new gas filters installed 8/26/15 (replacing one between tank & fuel pump & one between fuel pump & carburetor; transparent filters to replace old metal no see filters).

Starts, ccelerates, amp; shifts quietly. Still starts with gas pedal push & has the original old fashioned 6volt battery; positive ground. Starting is so easy the 6 volts doesn't seem to strain.

The repaint is a nice job with almost no blemishes (definitely no bubbles, racking,or pops). See the added top down/windows up picture. Allthe glass is perfect as well as chrome-stainless framings.
