Redundant if you are following my thread but we got the Valiant running today. I like to drive them a bit before putting in the glass in case I need to roll the dash out for a problem. Alignment tomorrow.

Very nice work! I bet the roof almost kisses the ceiling before the latch clicks on that lift. 
In my last house I had a 110" ceiling and a Cobra replica that I built. I cut and framed in between the trusses an 18" high pocket for the windshield and another for the roll bars to go up into. It was close like yours so you had to be quick on the power button.

Beautiful, even painted the underside (on rotisserie?). That right-side twin-post mirror must be rare. I'd like one. Perhaps more available from Australia?
I painted my 1965 Dart GT almost the same color, just slightly more yellow, using 1-part polyurethane "boat paint" - Interlux Brightsides mixing my own color w/ about 1 part yellow in 3 parts white (kind of lost track, so trying to match for a few oops). I painted my roof white where bounded by the GT chrome (vinyl top originally?). Wish I had attacked it whole-hog rather than piecemeal, such as I never removed the windshield, making restoring the dash in-car a pain.
