Chris,
I am doing great, thanks for asking. Yes, you are correct, the original Bimini did have a stainless steel tube brace that went to the front windshield, but I have since replaced it with the strapping material that is more common on every other bimini you see out there today (courtesy of the Rag man). Hey, is there anyway we can talk you into catching a quick flight back to T-Town and heading up to Boyne Thunder with the rest of us Formula Guys? Would be neet to see a 382 Poker Run special acutually running in a Poker run. Could be like a Formula Rendezvous.......

Close as I an get for now. 100% fresh paint from the factory, still need to re-apply the Poker Run graphics. My maintenance guy wanted to let the paint dry (off-gassing) first before re-applying them. Hoping to get most of that done on my next trip back there.

Quick update for anyone else that is having this same dilemma...
We ended up taking the canvas all the way down to the cockpit cover snaps. No drilling the windshield. Also mounted the bimini inside the cockpit. It can be folded and left up, or the whole thing stores in the engine compartment. I also had him put a roll up window in the front section for easy bow access / air.
