all electrical problems fixed, we hope. everything seems to be up to snuff though and the windows now work the way I thought they should. shop traced all the circuits and found the master window switch and relay needed to be replaced. my top does go though the master window switch and it too is working perfectly. very soon we will get the carpets and seat covers done and be time to drive. well actually i'm going to drive it regardless of the smell, I didn't build this to just look at it.
bottom line is I can see light at the end of the tunnel.
