Clear Title in hand

When I bought this Bronco four years ago it had a Bestop soft top.  I took it off the day I got it and it's never been back on.  When I had it painted last year I took all of the hardware off and welded up the holes.  I still have the top, but not the hardware.  I never took it out if there was even a chance of rain.

A very unique feature of this bronco is the molded wheel flares.  All of others I've seen are riveted.

You can see in the vent window picture that the vent hardware is not in great shape.  The vents are hard to find and I was lucky put my hands on these.  I usually take the doors off so it hasn't been an issue for me.
