Its not too difficult to carefully separate the center section of the canopy, then only attach the front and rear sections. The thickness of the "glass" makes it pretty difficult to hinge prototypically, but you can leave it loose for removal.

i had thought about doing just that...but the glass doesnt sit perfectly flat/flush all the way around. So my fear is the front or rear  section will not sit flat and not allow the center to go back in and look good/right.

It's been a while since I built this so I can't remember all the details, but I was able to get it to fit acceptably - maybe not quite perfectly - without too much hassle.

WOW,  I like it. I see your sits just as low as mine.

I have mine sitting on all 4 wheels now and keep looking at it , thinking  it sure looks low.

But yet, I look at pics of the actual car and in one of the pictures I have, the top of the door isn't even waist high . So I guess I'll leave it as is .

Ok, an update as this one is nearly complete.

Thought I would snap off a few pics before heading out  to the garage for the day . .

Interior is done and in the body for the last time,,,, Although I'll touch up a few little places before I call it finished .

Tires are painted ( that's not fun btw ) sprayed satin black then masked off with bare metal foil then spayed a semi gloss white for the sidewalls  )

rear bumper + tail lights are in and Side mldgs are on the one side.

If all goes well today. I might be able to finish it tonight after dinner
