I can post pics OK. It is a bit of a circus with two different computers, but I seem to post my share.
I just picked up some #11 blades for my exacto knife. I was wondering about what you suggested. I will give it a try. The seam rippers I kept breaking grew tiring. I had also thought it might be helpful to have another top to compare parts with. The gent from AU had a nice offer but the shipping and costs would probably make that unrealistic. I sent a PM to DaveJ and see he has been on, but no reply. Eightydueces top is definitely workable, it does have a fair share of repairs, but I would like to now compare two panels if I could. The material eightyduece sent is stellar. I would like to not have any waste if I can help it.
When the time comes. I will be able to move ahead no problems...
However, if anyone has another top they can part with, I'll pay shipping...

I will give the knife a try.
