Re: The Howler
I thought you didn't have hard doors???? Or were you and I just talking about soft doors for summer?
4 pcs of glass are cracked winders don't wind vent wings don't vent no locks (OEM feature from a gentler time) latches are not reliable push button latch release confuses young'uns bottoms are rusted weatherstripping is 61 years old
Other than that, they are in excellent shape
If I had quality soft doors I would use them year-round.

Re: The Howler
Holy moly! I'd want to fab-fix those before ditching them for fabric. You could even fab in the mechanism from a YJ or something so you had a key lock. The glass is replaceable, just have to get the old cracked sheets out to have them made.
howler....werent you in Lisbon with CTJEEP a couple years ago for the turkey run? youre rig looks mighty familiar....

Re: The Howler
At the tree farm... yeah. That was a fun day.
Meet at Wally mart, walk across lot, buy turkey & lunch. Nice.
Post your rig here! 'Bill' isn't like Barack or Cher ... hard to tell who's who
