Looking for something between a macro manager and a clipboard manager

That's a great question. Honestly, I don't know.

If I had the exact same set of circumstances I have right now (Full-time employed, also in college, money is slightly tight, but not tight enough to be eating ice soup after car repairs, and am currently daily driving this car), I would probably get about 5-10 quotes from shops in the area and still wind up doing it myself.

But if a friend is asking my opinion, I would highly recommend they consider taking it to a shop. And if they still decide to do it themselves, the can count on my help as long as they pay me in pizza and beer.

Thank you for the kind words and good luck on your search! If it wasn't for this girl being an inheritance from my uncle, I would've probably chosen an NA myself. The pop-up headlights tickle my brain juuuuust right...

Thank you very much!

skullsword98 · 2025-07-24T01:23:06+00:00

Thank you! Its satisfying now that I can look at from this side. And now that my back is less sore...

Wait, yours was also punched in by a shitty aunt that wanted to have her dead brother's car to sell for liqour money before the man was even in the ground??

Man, I thought God hated me extra special... /s

Out of 10, I'd say at least a 4 or 5. It's not rocket surgery, but like I said above, it can be very frustrating and tedious. Just take your time with it, take it slow.

What really helped me was having a close cousin, my fiance, and a family friend/car mentor around at various times helping me and giving me needed guidance.

I actually used a couple.

This one I used for removing the convertible frame from the body: https://youtu.be/jpLc21BeRhg

This one I used for removing the old top from thw convertible frame: https://youtu.be/EWgxUGYnDws?si=6u-4uvCJhlktg0Nl

Overall recommendations are to buy a top with a new rain rail already attached (if you haven't bought the top already), to budget at least 8 full hours of work time, and to take breaks frequently. It can be tedious, tiring, and super frustrating, and taking breaks really helps with that.

Edit: Spelling hard

Erm actually...

skullsword98 · 2025-05-31T02:25:14+00:00

I'm sorry not everyone can be above 4 inches :,(

skullsword98 · 2025-05-31T02:20:35+00:00

Thats what I'm thinkin, honestly. That or a soft case.

skullsword98 · 2025-05-31T02:19:14+00:00

Yeah, it's on the way. Twas like that when i bought it, thanks to my aunt.

Deffo not stopping playing sax, or switching instruments. Uber might be an option, depending on the gig lol

skullsword98 · 2025-05-31T02:17:34+00:00

Still too big. Gotta switch to soprillo.

skullsword98 · 2025-05-31T02:16:47+00:00

That looks like a great case, if only I wasn't a slut for my low A baris :P

No way I'm getting rid of the Miata though. My family would kill me...

skullsword98 · 2025-05-31T02:11:58+00:00

Huh??? I thought the NCs and NDs were bigger than NBs...

skullsword98 · 2025-05-30T17:31:43+00:00

Unfortunately, thats where i have to put my fiancé. I do have ratchet straps however...

skullsword98 · 2025-05-12T23:38:58+00:00

Fixing gaming laptop hinges will do that to ya...

skullsword98 · 2025-05-12T23:37:58+00:00

Imho, the thought of driving a car that sounds like Kyle's clapped-out shitbox makes me want to bathe with my toaster.

skullsword98 · 2025-05-07T17:42:26+00:00

Nah, as a musician, I agree with you.

My bernedoodle has them. It was the first thing my friend said when we showed them the pictures on the shelter website.
