Can someone who has done this give me a brief run down of what I am getting myself into here? I there anything I should know? what grits did you use? Is it a miserable painful process just for the look? Thanks.
 
I have seen it done and it looks great. I would use 80 untill the bumps are off then 180 to get major scratches out and a good primer.
 
If you sand deep enough to get into the fiberglass strands you are going to want to use a sealer on it, cover that with bondo and sand smooth. I jsut did this on my half cab conversion and I didn't want to go to the trouble of a sealer but once I got into it, I'm glad I did.
 
I have a stock smoothed hard top if you'd like to come pick it up... $50 with sliding windows sound okay? :deal:
