Well I went ahead and bit the bullet, the engine is once again a short block and the heads are in the shop to hopefully remedy the exhaust valve problem. We should get those back by monday or tuesday of next week and get that engine running right. I'll use new head and intake gaskets, and get the #1 cylinder to TDC for timing.
In other news, "Santa" brought me a fiberglass repair kit, and I took a stab at fixing the corners of the hardtop yesterday evening. I only worked on one corner, but after an hour and a half of cure time it came out awesome. It's not smooth and even, but it's strong, which is what matters. Fiberglassing is not as hard as I thought it would be. So hopefully in the next couple of weeks I'll have the engine running again, the hardtop repaired and painted and on, and all the other small things like heater fan enclosure and battery tray figured out. I'm just glad to be making some progress.
